Question

If y varies inversely with x and y = -3 when x = 18, find x when y = -2

-33
27
-12
-6

Answer 1

Inverse Variation:
\(\large y=\Large\frac{k}{x}\), where k= the constant.

y = -3
x = 18

First plug in those values to find the constant. Then plug in y = -2, and the value of k for k, and solve for x.

Answer 2

so
-3= \[-3= \frac{ k }{ 18 }\]

Answer 3

-54? so my new equation would be \[-2=\frac{ -54 }{ x }\]
