16. y= -16 when x = 2 This question is from textbook Algebra 2
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y varies directly as x.
Therefore y=kx
---------
Find the constant of variation, and write an equation of direct variation that relates the two variables.
16. y= -16 when x = 2
If y=-16 when x=2 then:
-16 = k(2)
k=-8
k is the constant of variation.
