The equation for inverse variation is y = k/x, where k is the constant of variation. To find the value of k, we can substitute the given values y = 2 and x = 6 into the equation:
2 = k/6
Multiplying both sides by 6, we get:
k = 2*6
k = 12
Therefore, the equation for the inverse variation is y = 12/x.
2 = k/6
Multiplying both sides by 6, we get:
k = 2*6
k = 12
Therefore, the equation for the inverse variation is y = 12/x.
