Question

what is y+12=3/4(12x-16)

Answer 1

y+12 = 3/4(12x-16)

y = 3/(48x - 64) - 12

or solve for x

y(48x -64) +12(12x-16) = 3

48xy -64y + 144x - 192 = 3

48xy + 144x = 3 +192 +64y

(48y +144)x = 195 +64y

x = (195+64y)/(48y+144)

what is it? Looks like a rectangular hyperbola

use a graphing calculator

xy = 1 is a rectangular hyperbola

or y =1/x

transform that up or down, right or left, compress or stretch, and you get

the given equation

UNLESS by chance you meant to write

y +12 = (3/4)(12x -16)

then

y = 9x -12-12

y = 9x -24

a straight line with high slope = 9, very close to vertical, and y intercept =-24 or the point (0,-24)
