Answer: third option


y = (4)/(x)

Explanation:

It is said that two variables X and Y vary inversely if when the variable x increases then the variable and decreases.

The equations of inverse variation have the following form:


y = (k)/(x)

Where k is the constant of variation

To know which of the equations varies inversely identify those that have the form


y = (k)/(x)

You can see that the correct option is the third option


y = (4)/(x)
