Answer:

If x is greater than 0, then y is greater than x

For example:

x = 2 => y = 4(2) = 8, 8 > 2

x = 3 => y = 4(3) = 12, 12 > 3

If x is = 0, then y is equal to x, because x = 0 => y = 4x = 4(0) = 0 => x = y = 0

If x is less than 0, then y is smaller than x

For example:

x = -2 => y = 4(-2) = -8, -8 < -2

x = -3 => y = 4(-3) = -12, -12 < -3

Hope this helps!
