Question

I need help with this question

if y =44 when x=-264, what is y when x=-486

Answer 1

If we can assume the values are in direct proportion, then you can set it up like this:

\(\dfrac{44}{-264} = \dfrac{y}{-486} \)

Now you need to solve for y.
You can cross multiply.

Answer 2

I got 81

Answer 3

\(-264y = (44)(-486)\)

\(-264y = -21384\)

\(y = 81\)

You are correct.

Answer 4

thank you so much!!
