Answer

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$

Work Step by Step

Start with a direct variation equation: $y=ax$ Plug in given values: $4=a\times12$ $a=\frac{4}{12}$ $a=\frac{1}{3}$ Hence, the completed equation is: $y=\frac{1}{3}x$ The y-intercept is $0$. Plot a point $(0,0)$. The slope is $\frac{-16}{5}$. Plot another point $(1,\frac{1}{3})$. Draw the graph.
