The ordered pairs (-1,2) and (4,y) are for the same direct variation, how do you find each missing value?

Answer 1

Eva Abramson

#(4,y)to(4,-8)#

#"the initial statement is "ypropx#

#"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"# #"of variation"#

#rArry=kx#

#"to find k use the given condition"#

#(-1,2)tox=-1,y=2#

#y=kxrArrk=y/x=2/(-1)=-2#

#"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=-2x)color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#"when "x=4" then"#

#y=-2xx-4=-8#

#rArr(4,y)to(4,-8)#

To find the missing value of ( y ), you can use the direct variation formula ( y = kx ), where ( k ) is the constant of variation. First, determine ( k ) using one of the ordered pairs. Then, substitute the known values into the equation to find the missing value.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
