Y = k/x where k is the constant of variation
y = 3 , x = 1.2 gives
3 = k/1.2
therefore
k = 3*1.2 = 3.6
and the required equation is
y = 3.6 / x
Hey read the image I have attached. Ignore what I am typing here I need to type 20 characters.
If you would like to write x = 1/3 * y in general form, you can do this using the following steps:
The general form of the equation is: ax + by + c = 0.
x = 1/3 * y
x - 1/3 * y = 0
The correct result would be x - 1/3 * y = 0.
Switch y and x to find the inverse:
x = 3y - 8
Now just solve for y
y = x/3 + 8/3
