Question

If there is an inverse relationship between x and y, and the constant of variation is forty, what is y when x equals five?

Answer 1

So what does inverse mean?
That means if x increases y would decrease
or x = k*1/y
x = 40/y
Thus when x = 5
Then
5 = 40/y
Now try solving the equation for the y value!! :)
Getting me? :D

@AkashdeepDeb
So it 8

Answer 3

YES!! :D [Yippe] :)

Answer 4

indirect variation: \(\large y = \frac{k}{x}\) , constant of variatoin = \(k = 40\)
\[\large y= \frac{40}{x}\] When x=5 \[\large y= \frac{40}{5} = \?\]

Answer 5

Thanks
