anonymous · Answer

$ Y = \frac K x $

anonymous · Answer

its y=1/x

Im confused :( how do i write it as a ordered pair and wheres the numbers?

anonymous · Answer

u can write as xy =1

anonymous · Answer

what?

anonymous · Answer

i mean its bcam as a equation in xy =1

anonymous · Answer

Sorry I accidentally deleted my post.
$$\Large \begin{array}{l}
y = \frac{k}{x}\
9 = \frac{k}{{14}}\
k = ?
\end{array}$$
Calculate what k is.

anonymous · Answer

bt how can we identify .....in this case there is three variable i.e x,y & k  also ...

anonymous · Answer

i think it must be only in inversely i.e in form of 1/x only right ?

anonymous · Answer

It's inversely proportional. Meaning, yes, as x increases y decreases and vice versa, which will happen if y = 1/x. But when x = 14, y = 9, meaning the constant numerator is not 1; otherwise y = 1/14.
