Question

I would appreciate the steps to the answer please...
Suppose that y varies inversely with x, and y = 6 when x = 8. What is an equation for the inverse variation?
• y = x/48
• y = 2x
• x = y/2
• y = 48/x

Answer 1

xy=k is the inverse variance equation
Since 8*6 = 48, we have

xy = 48
or
y = 48/x

Answer 2

Thanks much!
