Well, first consider how many digits there are. You have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0, depending on how you use it, that are all digits. If you count 0 as a digit other than a place holder (0000, 0001, etc.), you would end up with ten thousand (10,000) numbers with four digits, starting with 0000, and ending with 9999. If you count 0 as nothing other than a place holder (1000, 1001, etc.), you would have nine thousand (9,000) numbers with four digits, starting with 1000. So, depending on how you view 0, you can make up to 10,000 different numbers that contain four digits.
Y varies directly with x" means y = constant * x or y = kx ----- (1)1. when x = -1/2, y = 2Put it in (1):2 = k * (-1/2)multiply by 2:4 = k * (-1)4 = -kk = -4y = -4x "find the value of y when x= -0.3"y = -4x = (-4) * (-0.3) = 1.2
So for each problem, start with y = kxThey give you one x and one y value.Put it in y = kx and find k.Then put x = -0.3 and find y.
