If k = 3x, and y -1/3x, then k time y would equal
is y = -(1/3)x or -1/(3x) ?
y = -(1/3)x
k = 3x, so x = k/3
ky = (k)(-1/3 x) = -1/3 k (k/3) = -k^2
To find the value of k multiplied by y, we need to substitute the given expressions for k and y into the equation. Given that k = 3x and y = -1/3x, we can substitute these values into the equation k * y as follows:
k * y = (3x) * (-1/3x)
Now, let's simplify the expression:
k * y = 3x * (-1/3x)
Multiplying the constants and the variable gives:
k * y = -3/3 * x * 1/x
We can simplify the expression further:
k * y = -1
Therefore, k multiplied by y equals -1.
