Suppose y varies directly with x, and y=25 when x=-140. What is the value of y when x=36

A)140
B)165
C)201.6*****
D)176

8 answers

y = k x
25 = k (-140)
k = -5/28

y = k (36) = -(5/28)(36)

= - 5*9/7

= -6.43
Thanks
ok so, damon isnt that far off hes actually more correct than wrong.
you start with the function form of a direct variation. y=kx
you substitute y with 25 and x with 140. 25=k(140)
then you divide each side by 140 to sold for k. 25/140=0.17
so the new equation is 0.17=k u then substitute 0.17 for k in y=kx
so now, y=0.17 then u have to the value of x when y = 36 so u make that an equation. y=0.17x(36)=6.17
in conclusion, there is no answer bc the question doesn't have the correct answer as an option. Plz tell me if I'm wrong. Thank you :)
If there's no answer then wtf am i supposed to do....i cant just not select anything
