Suppose that y varies inversely with x , and y=5 when x=4
write an inverse variation that relates x and y
write an inverse variation equation that relates x and y
y = k/x
where k is the constant of variation.
Using the given information that y = 5 when x = 4, we can substitute these values into the equation to solve for k:
5 = k/4
k = 20
Therefore, the inverse variation equation that relates x and y is y = 20/x.
