Answer:

y = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x it means changing x will also cause change in y

Mathematically it can be written as:

y∝x

Removing the proportionality symbol

y = kx

Given y=25 when x=5 Putting the values

[tex]25 = k(5)\\k = \frac{25}{5}\\k = 5[/tex]

Now

[tex]y = 5x[/tex]

We have to find the value of y when x = -4

Putting x=-4

[tex]y = 5(-4)\\y = -20[/tex]

Hence,,

y = -20
