Question

Help me please thanks

Answer 1

`y = (-12)/(x) = -(12)/(x)`

Explanation:

An inverse variation equation is represented by

`y = (k)/(x)`

where k is a constant

Let's take a couple of values from the table to determine the value for k

At x = -2, y = 4 ==> 4 = k/-3 or k = -12

At x = 1/2, y = -24 ==> -24 = k/(1/2); k = -24 x 1/2 = -12

So we have determined that the relationship in the table is an inversely proportionate relationship

The equation is

`y = (-12)/(x) = -(12)/(x)`

which we can also rewrite as

`yx = -12 \;or\; xy = -12`
