Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

m = k/m     sub in the values given

-4 = k / 17

k = -68

so    m = -68/n     NOTE: this can also be written as  n = -68/m

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nikki,  they wrote the problem in a format that is general

y = k/ x      for the given variables  m and n  then

m = k / n   where k is some constant ( konstant)

plug in the given numbers for m and n

-4 =k / 17

solve for k

-4 * 17 = k

-68 = k

now we have a better formula

m = -68 / n  ( this is your answer a )

now plug in -136 for m

-136 = -68 / n  

solve for n

n = -68 / -136

n = 1/2   ( this is your answer b)

Hope that helps,  can you see how I did that?
