1. y=6
2. y=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1) If y varies inversely as x, and y=3 as x = -2, find y for the x value of -1.</u>
It is given that
y varies inversely as x
IT will be written as:
y∝1/x
Removing the proportionality symbol
y=k/x
Given
y=3 , x=-2
Putting the values
3=k/-2
k=3*-2 = -6
The equation will be:
y=-6/x
So,
When x=-1
<u>2) If y varies directly as x, and y=15 as x=-3, find y for the x value of 4</u>
y is directly proportional to x
y∝x
y=kx
Given
y=15, x=-3
Putting the values
Hence,
1. y=6
2. y=-12
