Answer:

y= (-7/8)x +7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the form for the equation of a line is

y= mx+b, with m being the slope, so our equation is

y=(-7/8)x+b. As b should be a constant, we need to find b. Plugging (12,-3) in, we have -3 = (-7/8)(12)+b =  -10.5+b. Adding 10.5 to both sides, we get b= 7.5, making our equation

y= (-7/8)x +7.5
