True or False? Y varies directly with x and y = -9 when x = 3. When y = 27, the value of x is 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The entire thing makes no sense to me. Is there a way you can explain the sentence to me?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

sure y = kx x = 3, y=-9 --> -9 = 3k --> k = -3 y = -3x now try x=9 , y=27 does it work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got y=-27 so that means the statement is false, right?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):
