Answer 6

Ok thanks

Answer 7

can u help @zepdrix

Answer 8

Sec thinking ^^

Answer 9

Based on the points they gave us, it looks like x and y will be `inversely proportional` to one another.

A way we could write that is:\[\Large y=\frac{k}{x}\]Where \(\Large k\) is our constant of proportionality.
We can simply plug in one of the coordinate pairs to solve for \(\Large k\).

Answer 10

can u give an example

Answer 11

Hmm, so it looks like one of the coordinates pairs they gave us is \(\Large (\color{royalblue}{x},\color{orangered}{y})=(\color{royalblue}{3},\color{orangered}{30})\)
We want to plug this coordinate pair into our relationship.\[\Large \color{orangered}{y}=\frac{k}{\color{royalblue}{x}}\]
Do the colors help see where to plug in? :)
