Answer:
y = -16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
y varies directly with x. Mathematically, we can write it as follows :
[tex]y\propto x[/tex]
or
[tex]y=kx[/tex]
Where
k is constant
Put y = 12 and x = -3 to find k. So,
[tex]k=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{12}{-3}\\\\k=-4[/tex]
Now put k = -4 and x = 4. So,
[tex]y=-4\times 4\\\\=-16[/tex]
So, the required value of y is equal to -16.
