Answer:

\huge \purple{ \boxed{ y =  \frac{2}{3} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the variables x and y are inversely proportional.

\therefore \: y  \:  \: \alpha \:  \:  \frac{1}{x}  \\  \implies \: y =  \frac{k}{x} \\ (k = constant)  \\  \implies \: xy = k ...(1)\\ plug \: y = 2, \:  \: x = 3   \: in  \: equation \: (1) \\ we \: find \\ 2 \times 3 = k \\ k = 6 \\ plug \:k = 6   \: in  \: equation \: (1)  \\ xy = 6 \\ (this \: is \: the \: equation \: of \: variation) \\ when \: x = 9 \:  \: y =?  \\  \\ 9y = 6 \\  y =  \frac{6}{9}  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ y =  \frac{2}{3} }}

A line passes through point (-2, 5) and has a slope of 3. Points A(x 3) and B(-2, y lie on the line.

Answer:

x = -8/3

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the equation of the line:

y = 3x +c

Substituting (-2,5) into 'y=3x+c':

5 = -6 + c

c = 11

Hence,

y = 3x + 11

For finding x:

Substituting (x, 3) into 'y = 3x +11':

3 = 3x + 11

3x = -8

x = -8/3

For finding y:

Substituting (-2, y) into 'y = 3x + 11':

y = -6 + 11

y = 5
