\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby

k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=8\\
x=-6
\end{cases}\implies 8=k(-6)\implies \cfrac{8}{-6}=k
\\\\\\
-\cfrac{4}{3}=k\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{y=-\cfrac{4}{3}x}
\\\\\\
\textit{when x = -2, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad y=-\cfrac{4}{3}(-2)[/tex]
