Assume that y varies inversely with x and that y is 2 when x is 4. Which of the following is the equation of inverse variation?

y = 2x

xy = 8

y/x = 2

... ?

If y varies inversely as x, and y = 3 when x = 6, find the value of x when y = 18.

y = k/x

k = 3 x 6 = 18

18 = 18/x

x = 1

Assume that y varies inversely with x and that y is 2 when x is 4. Which of the following is the equation of inverse variation?

y = k/x

k = 2 x 4 = 8

y = 8/x

xy = 8

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
