Answer:

-34

Explanation:

y varies directly as x

That means


y \infty x \\ y = kx \\ - 51 = 3k \\ k = ( - 51)/(3) = - 17

To find y when x=2,


y = kx \\ y = ( - 17)2 \\ y = - 34

NB: I could not find the direct proportionality sign, that is why I used the infinity sign

K = proportionality constant
