Write the equation in the form y=k/x

Question

Write the equation in the form y=k/x

y=6/5x

 

Answer 1

y = 6/(5x) implies

y = 6 × (1 ÷ 5x) implies

y = 6 × (1/5 × 1/x) implies

y = (6 × 1/5) × 1/x implies

y = 1.2 × 1/x implies

y = 1.2/x which is in the required form y = k/x, where k would be 1.2.

Answer 2

y = 1.2 / x
