Answer:
[tex] \large \boxed{y = 7x + 12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Goal
Given
Step 1
[tex] \large{m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}[/tex]
Substitute the coordinate points in the formula.
[tex]m = \frac{12 - ( - 16)}{0 - ( - 4)} \\ m = \frac{12 + 16}{0 + 4} \\ m = \frac{28}{4} \longrightarrow \frac{7}{1} \\ m = 7[/tex]
Step 2
[tex] \large{y = mx + b}[/tex]
Substitute m = 7.
[tex]y = 7x + b[/tex]
Step 3
Substituting any given coordinate points will give the same solution.
Step 3.1
[tex]y = 7x + b \\ 12 = 7(0) + b \\ 12 = 0 + b \\ 12 = b[/tex]
Step 3.2
[tex]y = 7x + b \\ - 16 = 7( - 4) + b \\ - 16 = - 28 + b \\ - 16 + 28 = b \\ 12 = b[/tex]
Step 4
[tex]y = 7x + b[/tex]
Substitute b = 12.
[tex]y = 7x + 12[/tex]
Hence, the solution is y = 7x+12.
