Question

If y = 4 when x = 16, find y when x = 6.

Answer 1

the pair (16,4) gives us the constant m to be 1/4,
because 4 = 1/4 x 16
Now for any value of x, the value of y = 1/4x
x = 6 ---> y = 1/4 x 6 = 6/4 = 1 1/2

Answer 2

24

Explanation:

To find y when x=6, you can use the equation y = 4x.

So, y = 4 * 6 = 24.
