K= 8. If you look at the pattern each x value is multiplied by 8 to give you the y value. You could also solve it by:
40=k5
40/5=k
8=k
you could do this with any of the x or y values and still end up with 8.
Answer:
A and B
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the surface area is 
BA is the base, so 
also works.
Umm.. I have to see the problems, we might not have the same textbooks so
Given:
y varies directly with x
y = 8 when x = -6
what is the value of y when x = -2?
y = kx
we need to get the constant of variation.
8 = k(-6)
8/-6 = k
4/-3 = k or - 1 1/3
y = -4/3 (-2)
y = (-4*-2) / 3
y = 8 / 3
y = 2 2/3 OR 2.67
The correct answer is Choice B. y = -1.33x ; 2.67
