Answer 2

Here the relation is related to direct variation. So if we have to relate x and y with direct variation, we can state it like y = k x , where k is the constant of proportionality.

We have the point given that is (-10,-17). Here x=-10 and y=-17 . So we substitute this point in y=k x and solve for x. That is ,

-17 = -10k

`k = (-17)/(-10)= (17)/(10)`

So the required equation is

`y = (17x)/(10)`
