The equation that models this relation is y = 70/x. So, option (D) is the correct answer.
What is constant of proportionality?
The constant of proportionality is the ratio of two proportional values at a constant value. Two variable values have a proportional relationship when either their ratio or their product gives a constant.
For the given situation,
The values are y = 10 and x = 7
y varies inversely with x.
⇒ [tex]y[/tex] ∝ [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex]
To remove proportionality we introduce a constant 'k'.
⇒ [tex]y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex]
Substitute the values of x and y,
⇒ [tex]10=\frac{k}{7}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]k=70[/tex]
Now substitute the value of k = 70 in y,
⇒ [tex]y = \frac{70}{x}[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the equation that models this relation is y = 70/x. So, option (D) is the correct answer.
