Question

What is the constant of the variation for the inverse variation?

Answer 1

Answer:

2nd possible answer is the correct one; the const. of var. is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 1/3 can be rewritten in inverse variation format:  Divide both sides by x to isolate y.  Then y = (1/3)(1/x).  The constant of (inverse) variation is 1/3.
