In an inverse variation, y = 3 when x = 8. Write an inverse variation equation that shows
the relationship between x and y.
Write the equation using a decimal or an integer.


How do I find this?


Answer :

Answer:

  • y = 24/x

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse variation equation is:

  • y = k/x

We have y = 3 when x = 8, find the coefficient k:

  • 3 = k/8
  • k = 3*8
  • k = 24

The equation is:

  • y = 24/x
