m=3/2 , (-8,12) in (y=mx + b) form
------------
y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where (x1,y1) is the given point.

3/2 = 1.5

y - y1 = m(x - x1) ....... point slope form
y - 12 = 1.5(x - (-8))
y - 12 = 1.5(x + 8)
y - 12 = 1.5x + 1.5*8
y - 12 = 1.5x + 12
y = 1.5x + 12 + 12
y = 1.5x + 24

The equation is in y = mx+b form with,
m = 1.5 = 3/2 = slope
b = 24 = y intercept
