Question

What is the state of y when y = k/x, x is halved.

Answer 1

y becomes doubled.

Step-by-step explanation:

If;

y =
`(k)/(x)`

what is the state of y when x is halved;

the given expression is an inverse relationship. When y increases, x is supposed to decrease and vice versa.

if x is halved; x =
`(x)/(2)`

`(k)/((x)/(2) )` =
`(2k)/(x)`

Now compare :

`(k)/(x)` :
`(2k)/(x)`

we see that y becomes doubled
