Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
Thus we must solve for y in y-(-7)=-(12/5)(x-3).
We have then, after distributing,
y + 7 = (-12/5)x + 36/5
Now subtract 7 (which is 35/5) and get
y = (-12/5)x + 1/5

it means you need to solve for y

y-%28-7%29=-%2812%2F5%29%28x-3%29
y%2B7=-%2812%2F5%29x-%2812%2F5%29%28-3%29

y%2B7=-%2812%2F5%29x%2B%2836%2F5%29
y=-%2812%2F5%29x%2B%2836%2F5%29-7
y=-%2812%2F5%29x%2B36%2F5-35%2F5
y=-%2812%2F5%29x%2B1%2F5
