Question

If x varies inversely with y, y = 30 and x = 12. What is the value of the
constant of variation?

Answer 1

Here's an example on how your formula would look, hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

k = 360

Step-by-step explanation:

given x varies inversely with y then the equation relating them is

x = $\frac{k}{y}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 30 and x = 12 , then

12 = $\frac{k}{30}$ ( multiply both sides by 30 )

360 = k
