?

I think my answer is 4/3

Answer 1

@Data_LG2 this ? is more important

Answer 2

you are correct (16/12) ---.(4/3)

Answer 3

y varies directly with variable x
y = kx, where k is any constant

y=16; x=12
16 = 12k
k=16/12
= 4/3 (in lowest terms)


I think

Answer 4

\(\sf m=\large \frac{ \Delta y}{ \Delta x}=\frac{ 16}{ 12}=\frac{ 4}{ 3}\)

yeah you're right (:
