something varies INVERSELY to whatever else, means something = 1/whatever so y varying inversely to "x" will be y = (SOMENUMBER)/x n = SOMENUMBER y = n/x

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, what's "n"? well, we know that when y = 1, x = -2, so \(\bf \large y = \frac{n}{x} \implies (1) = \frac{n}{(-2)}\\ n = (1)\times (-2)\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so n = -2 so, what's the value of "y" when the x-value is -1.? well \(\bf \large y = \frac{n}{x} \implies y = \frac{n}{(-1)}\)

2? @jdoe0001

y = -2/-1 => 2 :)
