if y= -96 when x=32, what is y when x=58

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you essentially have a y:x ratio -96:32 what do you have to multiply x by to get 32k = 58?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

once you know k, the y = -96k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no clue how to do this

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i just explained how to do it ... where is the confusion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on how to get the answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, to reiterate the solution process .... again: you essentially have a y:x ratio -96:32 what do you have to multiply x by to get 32k = 58? once you know k, the y = -96k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.81?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

k is approximately 1.81 yes, more exact is: k = 1.8125

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so, y = -98 times 1.8125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-174

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes; with the information that you have provided to us, that is the most reasonable result
