Question

Y varies inversely with x, if y = -12 when x = 8 what is x when y = -9

Answer 1

either 5 or 11

Explanation:

(8, -12)

(5, -9) or (11, -9)

If y varies consistently with x then it would copy what happens, in a manner of speaking.

In this case, y increases by three, x would either add 3 or subtract 3

I am not completely sure on this.
