Answer:

y=kx

2=k.-4

k=-1/2

then

y=-1/2×20

y=-10

Answer:

y = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 2 when x = - 4, that is

2 = - 4k ( divide both sides by - 4 )

[tex]\frac{2}{-4}[/tex] = k, that is

k = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x ← equation of variation

When x = 20, then

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 20 = - 10
