You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose that y is directly proportional to x and that y = -64 when x = 7
Complete parts (a) and (b):
(a) Find the constant of proportionality k
y = kx
-64 = k*7
k = -65/7
-----------------------
(b) Use y=kx to find y when x=6
y = (-65/7)x
y = -65/7)6
----
y = -390/7
