Answer: option. y=-1.33x; 2.67

Solution:

If y varies directly with x, the relation between y and x is:

y=kx

where k is a constant of proporcionality.

We know y=8 when x=-6. Replacing these values in the equation above:

8=k(-6)

8=-6k

Solving for k: Dividing both sides of the equation by -6:

8/(-6)=-6k/(-6)

-1.33=k

k=-1.33

Then the relation between y and x is:

y=kx→y=-1.33x

What is the value of y when x=-2?

Replacing x by -2 in the formula:

y=-1.33x→y=-1.33(-2)→y=2.66
