Answer:

y is 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The y/x is proportional per point (x,y) since this is a direct variation.

That is ,

[tex]\frac{30}{-3}=\frac{y}{-9}[/tex].

Cross multiply:

[tex]30(-9)=y(-3)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]-270=-3y[/tex]

Divide both sides by -3

[tex]\frac{-270}{-3}=y[/tex]

[tex]90=y[/tex]
