Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When a quantity "A" varies DIRECTLY with another quantity "B", we can write the proportionality equation as:
A = kB
Where k is the proportionality constant (to be found)
In this problem, it is given x varies DIRECTLY with y, so we can write:
x = ky
Also, given, x = 11, y = -3, so we plug these into the equation and first find k:
x = ky
11 = k(-3)
k = -11/3
Now, we need to find x when y = 8, so we substitute and find x:
