Answer 1

c. y = 1.25

Explanation:

The equation for direct variation is

y = kx,

where k is the constant of proportionality.

We can use the given values of x and y to find k for this case.

y = kx

-10 = k * 40

k = -10/40

k = -0.25

The equation for this case is

y = -0.25x

Now we let x = -5 and solve for y.

y = -0.25x

y = -0.25(-5)

y = 1.25

Answer: c. y = 1.25

Answer 2

c y = 1.25

Explanation:

The equation for direct variation is y= kx

If we know y and x we can solve for k

-10 = k*40

Divide each side by 40

-10/40 =k

-1/4 =k

The equation for this direct variation is

y =-1/4 x

Given that x =-5

y = -1/4 *-5

y = 5/4

y = 1.25
