Direct proportion equations have the following form:

y=kx

Where "k" is the Constant of proportionality.

In this case you know that "y" is directly proportional to "x" and when:

x=4;y=-2

Having these values, you can substitute them into the equation and solve for "k":

\begin{gathered} -2=k(4) \\ \frac{-2}{4}=k \\ k=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

So, substituting the value of "k" into the first equation shown above, you get that the equation that models the given relationship is:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x

Now, to find the value of "x", when the value of "y" is -24, you must substitute this value into the equation that models the relationship and then solve for "x". Then, you get:

\begin{gathered} -24=-\frac{1}{2}x \\ (-24)(-2)=x \\ x=48 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answers are:

\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{1}{2}x \\  \\ x=48 \end{gathered}

Answer:

\left(h,\:k\right)=\left(-\frac{3}{2},\:\frac{9}{4}\right),\:p=-\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+3x+y=0

4\left\bigg(-\frac{1}{4}\right)\left\bigg(y-\frac{9}{4}\right)=\left\bigg(x-\left\bigg(-\frac{3}{2}\right)\right)^2
