Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = h^2

15^2= 12^2 + b^2

225=144+b^2

81=b^2

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)
