What is the omitted part of the problem? k=-2%2F%28x-8%29

y=k%28x-8%29
k=y%2F%28x-8%29

Are you also given some data assigning for some x, that y=-2?

find the missing variable for the following direct variation. k=-2;(x,-8) 
y = kx

Just substitute given values for variables to get value of missing variable: highlight_green%28x+=+4%29

That's all...nothing COMPLEX!!
