Answer 2

Hey there!☺

`Answer:\boxed{y=(-1)/(2)}`

`Explanation:`

`(y)/(-8)=(1)/(16)`

In our first step, we will use the cross multiply method:

`(y)/(-8)=(1)/(16)\\ y*(16)=(1)*(-8)\\16y=-8`

In our second/last step, we will divide both sides by 16:

`(16y)/(16)=(-8)/(16)\\y=(-1)/(2)`

Hope this helps!☺
