Question

Y varies inversely with x
k= 1.4

What is the value of y when x is 5.6?​

Answer 1

y = 0.25

Explanation:

given y varies inversely with x

this can be written:

`y = (k)/(x)`

we are given that k = 1.4 and x = 5.6

simply substitute these values into the equation:

y = 1.4/5.6

y = 0.25

Answer 2

Since y varies inversely with x

y = k ×1/x

Where k is the constant of variation

k 1.4

When x is 5.6

y = 1.4 × 1/5.6

y = 1/4 or 0.25

Hope this helps
