The coordinate is an ordered pair 
. We have a number, 5, for y, which we can substitute (plug-in) for y in the equation of the line and solve for x.
Let t be time and r be rate, then if time varies inversely with the rate, the equation is 
. If it takes 5 hours to drive a fixed distance at a rate of 80, we can sub those values in to solve for the constant of variation, k.
. Solve for k by multiplying 5 and 80 to get that k = 400. Now let's find a new time t when r is a rate of 70. We will use that k value to do this: 
and find that it will take 20 hours to drive the distance at 70 mph when it takes 5 hours to drive the distance at 80 mph. Makes sense that it takes longer to drive a fixed distance when you are going slower.
