12x + 8y = −24

Divide by 4: 3x + 2y = −6

Solve for y (slope–intercept form):
y = −(3/2)x − 3

Intercepts:
- x-intercept (set y = 0): 12x = −24 → x = −2 → (−2, 0)
- y-intercept (set x = 0): 8y = −24 → y = −3 → (0, −3)

Slope: −3/2

Integer (Diophantine) solutions:
Let t be any integer. Then x = 2t, y = −3 − 3t gives all integer solutions (check: 12(2t)+8(−3−3t)=24t−24−24t=−24).
