Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are directly proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding increase in the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding decrease in the other variable.

Given that x varies directly with y, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression becomes

x = ky

If x = - 4 when y = 6, then

- 4 = 6k

k = - 4/6 = - 2/3

Therefore, the equation that relates x and y is

x = -2y/3

How do you do this?Can you help me with the steps? I don't really get this a lot
polet [3.4K]
Before you do the steps, change the fractions given to improper fractions:
2 2/3 = 8/3
3 1/6 = 19/6

Now, I think the first step they want you to write is:
8/3 (divided by) 19/6

When you divide two fractions, it's the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. (A reciprocal is a fancy way of saying you flip the fraction)
So the next step will look like this:
8/3 x 6/19

With this setup, you can cross simplify the fractions so that they look like this:
8/1 x 2/19
When you multiply this, you get 16/19

-7 2/3+(-5 1/2)+8 3/4

-7 2/3-5 1/2+8 3/4

-23/3 - 11/2 + 35/4

(4x-23 - 6x11 + 3x35)/12

(-92-66+105)/12=-53/12
