A proportional relationship is formed when y = 24 and x = 32. What is the value of y when x = -2? Explain how you solved the problem.

-1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

24 : 32 is the ratio between y and x respectively. To change a number but keep the ratio equal, we must divide/multiply both sides by the same amount.

First, we can say that we want to change x to -2. 32/-2 = -16, so we must divide both sides by -16 to keep the ratio but change x to 02

24 : 32 = 24/(-16) : -2 = -1.5 : -2

answer: 0.1,0.85
