Multiple Choice Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 14 when x = -4. What is the value of y when x = -6? (1 point)

Answer 1

The value of y when x = -6 can be found by using the direct variation equation:

y = kx

First, let's find the value of k using the given information: y = 14 when x = -4.

14 = k(-4)

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4:

k = -14/-4 = 7/2

Now, we can substitute the value of k into the equation and find the value of y when x = -6:

y = (7/2)(-6) = -21
