Question

If y varies inversely as x, and y= 12 as x=2, how do you find the y for the x-value of 6?

Answer 1

x =4

Explanation: As x and y are inversely proportional, the equation can be represented as x=k/y.

Substituting x=2 and y=12, we get 2=k/12=> k=12⋅2 => k=24.Equation can be represented as x=24/y. So, when y=6, we get x=24/6 => x=4

Answer 2

Answer: X=4 and y=4
