Answer:

Option c. 30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form y*x=k or y=k/x

Let

y ----> safe load in pounds

x ----> length in feet of a horizontal beam

we have

For x=15\ feet, y=2,000\ pounds

Remember that

k=y*x

substitute

k=2,000*15=30,000
