There are a number of way you can do this. Just remember that you need at least two distinct points or a slope-point to draw a specific line.
Below we shall make use two intercept points formula +x%2Fa+%2B+y%2Fb+=+1.
Divide the equation by 12
x%2F12+-+y%2F12+=12%2F12
x%2F12%2B+y%2F-12+=1.
Hence the graph passes through the points (12,0) and (0,-12).
Mark the two points in the coordinate system and draw a line passing these points.
