Given
Variation: inverse Proportion
y = 7, x = 9
Required
- Write an equation connecting y and x
- Find y when x = 21
Given that thee variation is inversely proportional;
This implies that
Convert variation to equation
----------- Equation 1
Where k is the constant of variation
Substitute 7 for y and 9 for x in equation 1
Multiply both sides by 9
Substitute 63 for k in equation 1
Multiply both sides by x
Hence, the equation connecting x and y is
Solving for when x = 21
Substitute 21 for x in the above equation
Divide both sides by 21
