Inversely Proportional
y is inversely proportional to x when x =3, y = 8 work out the value of y when x = 8
y is inversely proportional to x: yx = k, such k is constant
Did you know?
- Inversely proportional is also known as inverse variation.
Given:
To determine the constant of variation, substitute the first two given values to the equation of variation.
To determine the value of y, substitute the second given value of x including the constant of variation.
- x = 8, y = ?
- yx = 24
- 8y = 24
- y = 24/8
- y = 3
