<PRE><B>Question 673323</B>

Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 14 when x = –4. What is the value of y when x = –6

Thank you so very much!!!


Since y varies directly with x, then we have: y = kx, with k being the constant of variation


y = kx
14 = - 4k
k = 14/- 4, or - 7/2, or - 3.5


y = kx
y = - 3.5(- 6)


{{{highlight_green(y = 21)}}}
