If y varies directly with x and y = -11.7 when x = -3, find the value of y when x = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of y when x = 7 we must first find the relationship between them.

The statement

y varies directly with x is written as

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality

From the question

when y = - 11.7

x = - 3

We have

- 11.7 = -3k

Divide both sides by - 3

k = 3.9

So the formula for the variation is

When x = 7

y = 3.9(7)
