Answer:

y=10/x

Explanation:

Y=k/x

Y=2 & x=5 implies k=10

Hence, y=10/x is the desired equation of the hyperbola

...................................................................................................................................................

Answer:

The equation is and y = 2 , x = 5 the value of k is 10 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

y varies inversely with x.

Where k is the constant of proportionality .

Thus the equation for the inverse variation .

As given

y = 2 when x = 5

Put all the values in the equation .

k = 2 × 5

k = 10

Thus the constant of variation is 10 .

Therefore the equation is and when y = 2 , x = 5 value of k is 10 .

...............................................................................................................................................

Y varies inversely with x means, y=k\x where x is the constant of variation saying that 2=k\5 and gives k=10 y=10\x would be the equation for any x

...............................................................................................................................................

The answer is y=10/x
