1.If y varies directly with x

Introduce the constant term k

2.y=kx

where k is the constant term

substitute the value of x and y to form the law

-1=3k

k=-1\3

:y=-1\3x....is the law

To find the value of y when x is 9

Reinstate the law which is y=-1\3x and substitute the value of x to find y

y=-1\3*9

y=-3
