Suppose that y varies directly with x and y = 12 when x = -2. What is x when y = -6?

X=1

Step-by-step explanation:
Conduct a ratio, -2/12=x/-6

You have to find the x in this ratio so you will multiply -2 and -6 together, and multiply 12 and x together and make them equal to eachother. It would look like this.
(-6)(-2)=12x
12=12x
x=1

I hope this is right and I’m sorry if I’m wrong:((
