the last option is right. hope it helps

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

[tex]4y=-12[/tex]

According to the division property of equality: If a,b,c are three real numbers, then

[tex]a=b\Rightarrow \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}[/tex]

Using division property of equality, divide the given equation by 4.

[tex]\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{-12}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4y}{4}=-12\div 4[/tex]

[tex]y=-3[/tex]

The value of y is -3. Therefore the correct option is 4.
