How do i calculate the ratio of a table? x values are: 40, 20, 15, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13 y values are: 0, 20, 25, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27

First of all, you need to understand what you mean by "the ratio of a table."

The ratio of any y-vlaue to any corresponding x-value is not a constant here, so that is apparently not what you're talking about.

When you plot the points on a graph, they are all on a straight line. That line has a slope of -1, which you can figure from the graph or from the table. Perhaps this is what you're asking.

Pick two (different) pairs of x- and y-values, for example, (x, y) = (40, 0) and (20, 20). Now, compute the difference in y-values and divide that by the difference in corresponding x-values.

... y-difference = (20 - 0) = 20

... x-difference = (20 - 40) = -20

Then the ratio of these is

... (y-difference)/(x-difference) = 20/-20 = -1

x = 12

y = 1

for the points!
