If y=24 when x=6, find y when x=-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to note that this represents a proportional relationship. This means that every time x increases by 1, y will increase by a proportional value.

In order to solve for proportions, we can create a proportion fraction which basically puts two variables over each other. Let's put x over y.

We know that in the first fraction, x=6 and y=24.

And we know that x=-4 but we have an unknown y value.

We can now set these proportions equal to each other and solve for the missing y using cross products.

Hope this helped!
