if x =-12 when y=-3,find x when y=-6

Question

if x=-12 when y=-3,find x when y=-6

Answer 1

It seems like we need more info to solve this problem

 

Here are a couple of possibilities

 

y = 1/4 * x

 

x = -12, y = -3

 

x = -24, y = -6

 

Here is a second possibility

 

y = x + 9

 

x = -12, y = -3

 

x = -15, y = -6

 

So you can see from these examples that we need more information to answer this correctly.
