Seems like you forgot to attach the table.
For this reason, I will explain how to solve this question and you can apply using the numbers in your table.

We are given that:
y is inversely proportion to x. This means that as y decreases, x increases and vice versa.
Writing this into equation, we would get:
y = c/x where c is the constant of proportionality.
Now, we have the constant of proportionality given as 4.5.
This means that the equation that relates x and y is:
y = (4.5) / x

So, to fill in the table, we would substitute with the given x or y in the equation above and solve for the other variable.

Examples:
If given that x=2, then:
y = (4.5) / (2) = 2.25
If given that y=3, then:
3 = (4.5) / x
x = (4.5) / (3) = 1.5

Hope this helps :)
