Question

The ordered pair below is from an inverse variation. Find the constant of variation. (4,8)k= _________

Answer 1

`k=32`

Explanation:

Inverse variation is represented as;

`y=(k)/(x)`

Then, by the given point (4,8), solve for k.

`\begin{gathered} 8=(k)/(4) \\ k=4*8 \\ k=32 \end{gathered}`
