Answer:
y becomes doubled.
Explanation:
If;
y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex]
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 = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{k}{\frac{x}{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2k}{x}[/tex]
Now compare :
[tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] : [tex]\frac{2k}{x}[/tex]
we see that y becomes doubled
