the constant variation, K= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

i have replace the constant variation by the letter K

First step is to write down the information

y directly proprotional to x

So, y= Kx

Replace the value given for x and y to find k

y= -4 and x = -1

Kx= y

K( -1) = -4

K = -4 ÷ -1

K= 4

Further answer

if you are asked the connecting equation between y and x just replace the value of K in the equation

y= Kx

y= 4x
