do i need an eqation for this one?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes question is varies "directly"
so equation for direct variation use that and find k first
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\large\rm y = kx\]
and use first x and f(x) values to find k

50 = k-10
OpenStudy (bananas1234):
that = -5
Nnesha (nnesha):
k(-10) yes otherwise is like k is subtracting by -10
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes that is right
Nnesha (nnesha):
now use that same equation replace k by -5
and use 2nd x value that they gave you to find y
