Y=(-9--4) + (-3--7)
ALWAYS USE PEMDAS FORMULAS.
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall the equation for direct variation is 
where 
varies directly with 
and 
is the constant of proportionality. If we take any listed coordinate point, we can determine the value of . I will use (20,120) as an example:
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 6

Answer:
a) x = -1, x = 4
b) y = x^2 -3x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We observe the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 4. These are the solutions to y = 0, which is usually what we want in cases like this.
The solutions are x=-1 and x=4.
__
b) We know two of the factors are (x +1) and (x -4). There may be an additional constant factor for vertical scaling. One point we can check is the y-intercept.
y = a(x +1)(x -4)
For x=0, this is ...
y = a(1)(-4) = -4a
The y-intercept is y = -4, so we have a=1.
The factored equation is ...
y = (x +1)(x -4)
Multiplying this out gives the equation in standard form:
y = x^2 -3x -4
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
Your teacher may want the standard form equation to be ...
x^2 -3x -4 = 0
This is the equation of two specific points: x=-1 and x=4. It is not the equation of the graph.
