In the table below, y varies inversely with x. What is the equation that best describes the relationship?

x 4 3 2
y 6 8 12


Response area

The equation that best describes the relationship is y = k/x, where k is a constant.

6 = k/4?

k = 24
so
y = 24/x

That is correct! The equation that best describes the relationship is y = 24/x. Well done!
