Question

Show work please I’ve been really struggling lately and i am SWAMPED with work

Answer 1

Explanation:

Nikki, they wrote the problem in a format that is general

y = k/ x for the given variables m and n then

m = k / n where k is some constant ( konstant)

plug in the given numbers for m and n

-4 =k / 17

solve for k

-4 * 17 = k

-68 = k

now we have a better formula

m = -68 / n ( this is your answer a )

now plug in -136 for m

-136 = -68 / n

solve for n

n = -68 / -136

n = 1/2 ( this is your answer b)

Hope that helps, can you see how I did that?

Answer 2

See below

Explanation:

m = k/m sub in the values given

-4 = k / 17

k = -68

so m = -68/n NOTE: this can also be written as n = -68/m
