Question

find the value of y for a given value of x if y varies direclty with x if y= -252 when x= 84 what is y when x=74

Answer 1

If it's directly related, it would be y = x + b.
Given coordinates (84, -252)
-252 = 84 + b
b = -252 - 84 = -336
y = x - 336
y = 74 - 336 = -262

Hope this helps, and whoever wrote this problem seriously needs to reconsider their grammar and usage of "with" and "when" and "but" in the right context, it just seems more confusing and misused.
