Question

okay so i put a problem on here but i put it wrong i put if y=22 when x= 8 find x when x=-16 and i meant to put if y=22 when x= 8 find y when x=-16 would the answer still be the same?

Answer 1

Suppose y varies directly as x. Write a direct variation equation that relates x and y. Then solve.

y1/x1 = y2/x2

We know y1 = 22, x1 = 8, and x2 = -16. Thus:

22/8 = y/-16, or

y = [(22)(-16)]/8

Thus, by multiplication and division:

y = -44

I hope this helps!! Goodluck!!

Answer 2

I don't know how they answered your question before, but the answer for this is y = -44
