Question
If $y$ varies inversely as $x,$ find the constant of variation and the inverse variation equation for each situation. See Example $3 .$$$y=100 \text { when } x=7$$
Step 1
This means that $y$ is equal to some constant $k$ divided by $x$. We can write this relationship as $y = \frac{k}{x}$. Show more…
