If y varies inversely as x, and y = 2 as x = 3, find y for the x-value of 1

Question

solomonzelman · Answer

you mean y varies inversely `with` x?

solomonzelman · Answer

Inverse variation equation:  $\large\color{teal}{ y=\frac{\LARGE k}{\LARGE x}  }$   (which also can be written as,  $\large\color{teal}{ y\cdot x=k }$ )

(where in either case, $\large\color{teal}{ k}$ , is the variation constant)
