(4,y)to(4,-8)

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)
