Answer:
(y-y1)= m (x-x1)
( y - 10 ) = (-1/2) ( x - (-12))
( y - 10 ) = (-1/2) ( x + 12 )
( y - 10) = -1/2 x - 6
y - 10 = (- x - 12 ) / 2
2(y-10) = - x - 12
2y - 20 = -x -12
2y = -x -12 +20
2y + x = 8
x + 2y = 8 - general form (eq)
2y= -x + 8
2y/2 = (-x+8)/2
y = - (1/2)x + 4 - slope & y intercept form (eq)
