suppose that y varies inversely with x and y=2 when x=6 What is the equation for the inverse variation

Answer 1

The equation for inverse variation is y = k/x, where k is the constant of variation.

To find k, we can use the given values:

y = k/x
2 = k/6

Solving for k:

2 * 6 = k
k = 12

So the equation for inverse variation is:

y = 12/x
