Answer:
k=-3
x=63
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for direct variation is
y = kx where k is the constant of variation
We know x and y we can solve for k
-87 = k*29
Divide each side by 29
-87/29 = k
-3 =k
y= -3x
Now we know y = -189, we can find x
-189 = -3x
Divide by -3
-189/-3 = -3x/-3
63 =x
