The general rule is:

    The equation of the line, in the point slope form, that has a slope "m" and passes through the point (a,b) is

    y-b = m*(x-a).

In  your case it means that the equation is the equation of the line, in point slope form, that has a slope of 12 
and passes through the point  (-1, 14) is


    y-14 = 12*(x-(-1)),   or, equivalently,

    y-14 = 12*(x+1).


The last equation is in point slope form, as it is required by your condition.


This equation is what you need and is your answer.
