    y = - 51 : x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The standard format of a inversely proportional equation goes by the format of y = k : x. The question asks us to write an equation if y = - 3 when x = 17 and y varies inversely with x.

    So we substitute the values y = - 3 and x = 17 in the equation y = k : x

    K = constant, we have to work this out

    -3 = k : 17

    -3 * 17 = k

    k = - 3 * 17

    k = - 51

    k = - 51 So then we put this back into the original y = k : x to find our final equation which is y = - 51 : x
