Answer:

y + 12 = 3(x - 2)

Explanation:

Insert the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. Remember, in the Point-Slope Formula, y - y = m(x - x), all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE term of what they really are. Since both lines contain have to have similar rate of changes [slopes], we do not go any further.
