Suppose that y varies inversely with x. Write an equation for the inverse variation y=4 when x=7

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

when y varies inversely with x, you can write the equation in the form of \[y=\frac k x\]where k is a constant. we know that y = 4 when x=7, so plug these into the equation and solve for k.

4=|dw:1336707642504:dw|

so y = 28/x ?

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

Right!

YAY (: Thank you !
