If "x" varies directly with "y," and
x = -19 when y = 14, what is
"x" when y = 2?
Enter the number that belongs in the green box.
Reduce to simplest form.
X = -
Notice that the negative sign has already been entered.

Respuesta :

The value of x when y = 2 is -19/7

How to solve for x?

A direct variation from x to y is represented as:

x = ky

Where k represents the variation constant.

x = -19 when y = 14.

So, we have:

-19 = 14k

Make k the subject

k = -19/14

Substitute k = -19/14 in x = ky

x = -19y/14

When y = 2, we have:

x = -19 * 2/14

Evaluate

x = -19/7

Hence, the value of x when y = 2 is -19/7
