If x=-6, then y=-3

Further explanation:

Direct proportion means that if a quanitity increases the other quantity also increases and vice versa

The direct proportion is written as:

If y and x vary directly then

y∝x

y=kx

where k is the proportionality constant

If k=1/2 then the expression will be:

y=\frac{1}{2}x\\Putting\ x=-6\\y=\frac{1}{2}* (-6)\\y=-3

If x=-6, then y=-3

Firdavs [7]
To check how much Tim will pay to refill the gas tank using one of the on-site pumps, we can create a linear model. We know from our problem that the Renter's charge $4.50 per gallon plus a $5.00 refueling, so let x be the number of gallons and y the total cost.
y=4.50x+5 
We also know that the fuel tank in the car is half empty and t<span>he car has a 12-gallon fuel tank, so half tank is 6 gallons. Lets replace the number of gallons in our linear model with 6 to fin the total cost: 
</span>y=4.50x+5 
y=4.50(6)+5
y=27+5
y=32

Now, to find how much Tim will pay if he decides to refuel the car on his own, we can also create a linear model.
Let x be the number of gallons and y the total cost. We know form our problem that <span>refueling the car on his own will cost $2.59 per gallon and the late fee charge is $32.
</span>y=2.59x+32
<span>We already know that half tank is 6 gallons, so 
</span>y=2.59(6)+32
y=15.54+32
y=47.54
<span>
Comparing the result of our two linear models we can conclude that the correct answer is: </span><span>b. It would be cheaper to return the car on time and pay the refueling costs.</span>
