Answer 2

um... there has to be more to this question

Answer 3

if y=-3 & x=15
then the relation between them is y=x/(-5)

Answer 4

so!!!!!!!
when x=-2
y=2/5

Answer 5

oh, so we are assuming a direct proportion?
good guess Dhashini, bet you're right

Answer 6

mind you we could make infinitely many functions that give y(15)=-3, so the question as it is posted is incomplete

Answer 7

LOL

Answer 8

for instance
y=x^2-15x-3
y(15)=-3
y(-2)=31
so this question is incomplete
