Question

D. 2.8

Answer 1

What does "inversely proportional" mean?

Answer 2

it's the opposite of being directly proportional, i understand that more than the inverse stuff

Answer 3

It may help if you make the notation explain it to you.

y is directly proportional to x MEANS y = kx
y is inversely proportional to x MEANS y = k/x

Answer 4

No, not "oops".

Solve for k. This sort of problem CANNOT be presented without enough information to find 'k'. It HAS to be in the problem statement. That's what this does: " y = 12 when x=3". Substitute those two and solve for 'k'. AFTER that, read the rest of the problem.
