Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that:

Jamari's slope value = 2/3

Mia's slope value = 4/6

Even though the points used to calculate the slope aren't given, the problem is still solvable.

Slope = Rise / Run.

The value of slope calculated by Jamari and Mia is the same from the result given, with the only notable difference being that;

Jamari reduced his solution to it's simplest form while, Mia did not

The next step Mia should take is :

Reduce 4/6, tomits lowest term

Find a number which can divide both until. Both aren't designed visible by the same number.

4/6 = 2/3 [Dividing both by 2]
