Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
or 
in this problem
For x=32, y=-4
Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

substitute

simplify

so
The linear equation is

Find x when the value of y=0
Remember that
In a proportional relationship <u><em>the line passes through the origin</em></u>
so
If y=0
then
the value of x must be equal to zero
therefore

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we can solve this:
20^2 + 6^2 = X^2
400 + 36 = x^2
436 = x^2
x = SQRT(436)
x = 20.9 feet long
Answer:
y=6x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. y=mx+b
2. y=6x+b
3. plug in the point to x and y
4. -4=6(0) + b
5. -4=0+b
6. -4-0=b
7. -4=b
8. y=6x-4
