Question

What is the constant of variation if y varies inversely as x and y = 3 when x = 6? PLZ HELP ME I DONT UNDERSTAND

Answer 1

The constant of proportionality (k) is 24

Explanation:

if y varies inversely as x

y = k × 1/x

and y = k/x

if y = 4 and x = 6

That means 4 = k/6

and k = 4 × 6

k = 24
