Answer:

y∝x

y=kx

k=y/x

by putting values

k=-8/4

k= -2

now ,if x= -4

as, y=kx

hence, y= (-2)(-4)

y=8

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
