Explanation:
"the initial statement is "ypropx
"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"
"of variation"
rArry=kx
"to find k use the given condition"
(-1,2)tox=-1,y=2
y=kxrArrk=y/x=2/(-1)=-2
"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=-2x)color(white)(2/2)|)))
"when "x=4" then"
y=-2xx-4=-8
rArr(4,y)to(4,-8)
