The point-slope formula is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y%5B0%5D=m%28x-x%5B0%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "substitute $\"m=12\"$ - slope, $\"x%5B0%5D=-1\"$ , $\"y%5B0%5D=4\"$ - coordinates of the point
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-4=12%28x-%28-1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-4=12%28x%2B1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-4=12x%2B12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=12x%2B12%2B4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=12x%2B16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: $\"y=12x%2B16\"$
