Answer:

When x is -6, y will be 18

When x is -5 y will be 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion

y/x

-9/3 = x/-6  What do we need to multiply 3 by to get 6?  -2, so we will multiply -9 by -2 to get 18

Some people like to solve by cross multiplying.

That would give us

(-9)(-6) = 3x  

54 = 3x  divide both sides by 3

18 = x

Set up the second problem as a proportion

-9/3 = x/-5  This is a little trickier.  I am trying to think what I have to multiply 3 by to get -5.  3(-5/3)  will give me -5, so I will multiply the top number that I know (-9) by (-5/3) to find my x.

(-9)(-5/3) = 45/3  or 15
