Question

Write an appropriate inverse variation equation if y = 10 when x = 5

Answer 1

@Jasmineflvs

Answer 2

well what's x times two...the equation would be y=2x

Answer 3

y= 2 over x?

Answer 4

??? what

Answer 5

oh it's an inverse

Answer 6

all the multiple choice are fractions.. so i was asking would it be y=2 over x

Answer 7

well, inverse variation means y = (SOME CONSTANT)/x
so what's that constant? we dunno
but we know that when x = 5, y = 10

thus \(\bf y = \cfrac{n}{x} \implies 10 = \cfrac{n}{5}\)

solve for "n" to get the "constant" of variation
