Suppose that y varies directly with x and y=12 when x=-2. what is when x=-6?

Y=4

How?

When they say directly you should multiply the x and y together. You would get - 24, now using that number divide - 24 by the new x (-6) you would get 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly with x

First find the value of the proportionality constant K

Y=KX

Where K is d constant of proportionality

12 = - 2K

Divide 12 by the coefficient of K

K=12: (-2) = -6

When X=-6, substitute the value of K

Y=KX

Y=-6 * (-6)

Y=36
