For this case we have that by definition, two magnitudes are directly proportional when there is a constant such that:

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

Where:

k: It is the constant of proportionality

We must find the value of "k" when [tex](x, y): (- 3,2)[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac {y} {x} = \frac {2} {- 3} = - \frac {2} {3}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]k = - \frac {2} {3}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]k=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the constant of variation, [tex] k [/tex], of the direct variation, [tex] y = k x [/tex] given the coordinates of the point [tex] ( - 3 , 2 ) [/tex].

Direct variation is represented by:

[tex] y = k x [/tex]

where  [tex] k [/tex] is the constant of variation.

Substituting the coordinates of the given point to find the value of [tex] k [/tex].

[tex] 2 = k (-3) [/tex]

[tex]k=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
