Question

If y varies inversely as x, find the constant of variation if y = 14 when x = 8.
A. 112
B. 2
C. seven-fourths
D. 7

Answer 1

x is the coordinate to the left and y is to the right. so you start with x first

Answer 2

you need to find out what with what makes 14

Answer 3

if you add 2 three times to x then you get 14 but I don't think that's the answer

Answer 4

y=k/x...as inverse... so 14=k/8 ==> k= 112... @musa19965
