You need to find a common factor that both the
numerator
and denominator have. 16 and 12 have common divisible factors of 2 and 4(excluding 1, because 1 is self-defined but doesn't simplify values at all).
We use the highest factor, in this case, 4.
Divide 16 by 4 and 12 by 4.
16/4 = 4
12/4 = 3
We put 4 in place of the numerator and 3 in place of the denominator.

Answer: Population
In statistics, a population is the entire group of people you want to determine some fact about (eg: average height). A sample is a subset of the population that should ideally represent the population.
y = 8
using the ' gradient formula' m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
with (x₁, y₁) = (3, 3), (x₂, y₂) = (- 5, y) and m = - 
(y - 3)/( - 5 - 3) = - 
(y - 3)/(-8) = - 
multiply both sides by - 8 to eliminate fractions
y - 3 = 5
add 3 to both sides
y = 5 + 3 =8
