Graph the direct variation y=−1.5x. Find the value of x when y= −3; 4.5; 6
When y = −3, x =
When y = 4.5, x =
When y = 6, x =

Respuesta :

Answer: When y = −3, x =2

When y = 4.5, x =-3

When y = 6, x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: [tex]y=-1.5x[/tex]

To find x divide both sides by -1.5 , we get

[tex]x=\frac{y}{-1.5}[/tex]

When y = −3, [tex]x=\frac{-3}{-1.5}\\\Rightarrow\ x=2[/tex]

When y = 4.5, [tex]x=\frac{4.5}{-1.5}\\\Rightarrow\ x=-3[/tex]

When y = 6, [tex]x=\frac{6}{-1.5}\\\Rightarrow\ x=-4[/tex]

So we have points to plot the line to show direct variation on graph as below.

(2,-3), (-3,4.5) and (-4,6)
