By rewriting the given line, we can see that the slope is equal to -1/2 or -0.5
<h3>
How to get the slope of the given line?</h3>
Remember that a line is:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line, which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
Then, we can rewrite our equation:
x + 2y = 16
to:
2y = 16 - x
y = (16 - x)/2
y = (-1/2)*x + 8
Comparing with the general line equation, we can see that the slope is -1/2.

The best thing to do is to rewrite the fractions as decimals
-2/3 is approx. equal to -0.6666667
So a little past half way (to the left) between -1 and 0
1 1/5 is 1.5 so that is right between 1 and 2
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Given y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion
To find k use the condition when x = 3, y = 18 , then
18 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )
6 = k
y = 6x ← equation of proportion
(b)
(i)
when x = 12 , then
y = 6 × 12 = 72
(ii)
when y = 42
42 = 6x ( divide both sides by 6 )
7 = x
Answer:
A 67 is the correct answer sure
