2) x=4, y=1/2, z=-1 Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The variable z varies jointly with x and y. Use the given values to write an equation relating x, y, and z. Then find z when x=-1 and y=4.
1) x=2, y=4, z=-2
--------------
z = kxy
-2 = k*2*4
k = -1/4
--------------
Then find z when x=-1 and y=4.
z = (-1/4)*(-1)*4
z = 1
