Question

The varlables x and y vary Inversely. Use the given values to wrke an equation relating X and y

Answer 1

X and y vary inversely means y is inversely proportional to x, this means:

y=k/x, where k is a constant.

We are given that when x=-4, y=7/2, we replace these values to find k.

7/2=k/-4
k= (-4*7)/2=-14

So we have y=-14/x

Therefore, when x=4, y=-14/4= -7/2
