Please help for metal and fan? :) y varies inversely with x. Find the inverse variation equation if x = 12 when y = 4. Select one: a. y/x = 0.33 b. xy = 0.33 c. y/x = 48 d. xy = 48 y varies inversely with x. Find the inverse variation equation if x = 12 when y = -3. Select one: a. y/x = -1/4 b. y/x = -36 c. xy = -36 d. xy = -1/4

so what does this mean y varies inversely with x ??? do you know ?? how to write this equation ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats the exact question out of my textbook, and I dont understand.

ok so y varies inversely with mean |dw:1416459068963:dw|

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

@BreanneAndrews y varies inversly to x means that y is inversly proportional to x for example :- if we increase y then x will be decrease okay ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1416459096197:dw| plug this two value into the equation and solve for k
