Answer: 8
===========================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
All direct variation equations are of the form y = kx, for some constant k.
We know that y = -8 and x = 4 pair up together. Let's use these two values to find k
y = kx
-8 = k*4
-8/4 = k
-2 = k
k = -2
Therefore, we go from y = kx to y = -2x
We can then find y when x = -4
y = -2x
y = -2*(-4)
y = 8
