the variables x and y vary directly. write an equation that relates x and y. then find y when x=12. x=-3, y=-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me with this one too? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the variables x and y vary directly again means y = kx

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y = kx -5 = k*(-3) solve for k

5/3?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you got it, now use this to find y when x = 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
