Question

PLEASE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THANK YOU!!

Write an equation of the direct variation that includes the point (–10, –17).

1) y= 10/17x

2) y= -1/17x

3) y=1 7/10x

4) y=-1 7/10x

Answer 1

We know that when x= -10, y= -17.

So, if we put those into direct variation "y=kx", we get

-17= k(-10)

k = -17 / -10

Now we put the value of "k" into the formula and we get A (y= 17/10x )
