Let y be inversely proportional to x. if x​ doubles, what happens to​ y?

When it is said that a variable is inversely proportional to another, it is best to write out an equation to represent it.

This means;

y=k/x (where k is a constant number like 1 or 2, etc)

If you double x, the value of y is halved. I have attached a graph that shows this.

Hope I helped :)
