Answer:

k = 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

When dealing with inverse variation, the two variables vary in opposite directions. This means that as the first variable increases, second variable decreases and as the first variable reduces,the second variable increases.

Y varies inversely with x.

So as y increases, x reduces and as y reduces, x increases.

We would proceed by introducing a constant of variation, k

y = k/x

From the information given,

The constant of variation = k

The value if x = 6.4

The value of y = 1.5

To find the value of k

y = k/x

k = yx = 1.5 × 6.4

k = 9.6

5(2)>3(1)+4

10 > 7. Is True because 10 is greather than 7. All needed to do is evaluate the x and y variables for each possibility. A, B, C D. And see if is a logical answer.

Any other combination gives you a false statement.
