    Xy=k

    3*5=k

    k=15

    xy=15 or y=15/x

    So if somthing varies inversely then when one value goes up, the other value goes down so xy=z and z has to be the same so lets say that z=16

    when x=2 y=8

    when x=4 y=4

    when x=8 y=2

    when x=16 y=1

    so xy=z

    subtitute

    (3) (5) = 15

    so if x=5 y=3

    x=1 y=15

    x=15 y=1
