If x varies inversely with y and x = 6 when y = 10, find y when x = 8.

Answer 8

it does not make sense to me sorry

Answer 9

Inverse relation :

\(\large y = \frac{k}{x} \)

Answer 10

plugin x = 6, y = 10 and find the value of \(\large k\) first

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

would it be 6/6? @ganeshie8

Answer 13

or 12/6?

Answer 14

plugin x = 6, y = 10 :

\(\large 10 = \frac{k}{6}\)

\(\large k = 60\)

Answer 15

could it be 4.8 or like 7.5?

Answer 16

so,

\(\large y = \frac{60}{x}\) is your inverse function

Answer 17

read the quesiton,
u want to find y when x = 8, right ?

Answer 18

simply plugin x = 8 above^

Answer 19

\(\large y = \frac{60}{8} = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5\)
