Question

HELP! WILL GIVE MEDAL AND BECOME A FAN!!!! y varies inversely with x and y = 8 when x = 2.
Which is the inverse variation equation for the relationship?
a.y = 16x
b. y = 16/x
c.y = 2x
d. y = x + 2

Answer 1

B

Answer 2

Alright inversely means

\[y = \frac{k}{x}\]

You need first solve for 'k' by multiplying both sides by x (which here is 2.) so what is 2 times 8? 16...that is your 'k'

So your final answer would be

y = 16/x
