Answer:

y = 32x

Explanation:

y = k/x^2

8 = k/2^2

8 = k/4

8×4 = 32

k = 32

y = 32x

Answer: y=32/x^2

Step-by-step explanation: Please mark brainilest. Since y and x^2 are inversely proportional, x^2(y)=k. K is some constant. Since they gave us an example of x and y, we can calculate k as 4*8=32. So our updated equation is y(x^2)=32. Dividing both sides by x^2 we get y=32/x^2, so we have y in terms of x
