HELP!! What value of y makes the equation 4x – 3y = 17 true, when x = 2?

y=  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2) - 3y = 17

8-3y=17

-8       -8

-3y=9

     -3

y=-3

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
