Answer

$$y=-3e^{3x-6}+4.$$

Work Step by Step

By separation of variables, we have $$\frac{dy}{3y-12}=dx$$ Then by integration, we get $$\ln(3y-12)=3x+c\Longrightarrow y=\frac{1}{3}(Ae^{3x}+12).$$ Now, since $y(2)=1$, then $1=\frac{1}{3}(Ae^{6}+12)\Longrightarrow A=-9e^{-6}$. So the general solution is given by $$y=-3e^{3x-6}+4.$$
