Answer:

  • y = -6/x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inverse variation equation:</u>

  • y = k/x, where k - coefficient

<u>We have:</u>

  • x = 6, y = -1

<u>Work out the value of k by substituting the values of x and y:</u>

  • -1 = k / 6
  • k = -1*6
  • k = -6

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • y = -6/x

Answer:

y = -6/x

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely as x

So, y = k/x, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = -1 when x = 6,

Then, -1 = k/6 ===> k = -6

Therefore, y = -6/x

MAXImum [283]

Answer: 164.32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Weekly coverage :

Miles biked to the river = 0.86 miles

Miles biked along the river back home =. 2.3 miles

Total miles biked weekly:

(0.86 + 2.3) miles = 3.16 miles weekly

Number of weeks per year = 52

Miles biked yearly : (number of weeks per year * miles biked weekly)

= 52 * 3.16 miles

= 164.32 miles

Mrs endo will bike about 164.32 miles in a year.
