Y=6 when x= 4

Question

Write the inverse variation equation, given that x and y vary inversely.

 

Answer 1

Hello, Ari,

     Remember two equations, y=k/x   and x*y=k      "k" is a constant.

 

1.  First find the constant number through substitution.         x*y=k        x=4  and y=6

 

(4)(6)=k=24

 

 

2.  Next, substitute your value for "k." Leave "x" and "y" as variables in the equation:  y= k/x .

 

I will let you finish your problem.  If I have helped you, please give me a thumbs up.
