    the slope formula is y2-y1 / x2-x1

    so (y-4)/(3-12) = 4/3

    y - 4 = -12

    y = -8

    y would be -8 in this problem... the equation for slope is y-y/x-x. The x values are 12 and 3 which would mean a 9 on the bottom. that would mean, due to ratio, that the top would have to equal 12. 4-y+ 12.. 4-(-)8= 12
