If y varies directly as x and if x = -6when y = 2 how do you find x when y = -9, -8,-6, -5, -4, -3? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Direct Variation 1 Answer Olivier B. Jul 1, 2015 y=-9 rarr x=-17 y=-8 rarr x=-16 y=-6 rarr x=-14 y=-5 rarr x=-13 y=-4 rarr x=-12 y=-3 rarr x=-11 Explanation: If y varies directly as x, then when x is increased or decreased by a number n, so will be y. If y=2 when x=-6 then: y=-9=2-11 rarr x=-6-11=-17 y=-8=2-10 rarr x=-6-10=-16 y=-6=2-8 rarr x=-6-8=-14 y=-5=2-7 rarr x=-6-7=-13 y=-4=2-6 rarr x=-6-6=-12 y=-3=2-5 rarr x=-6-5=-11 Answer link Related questions What is Direct Variation?
