SOLUTION: The instructions states that y varies inversely with x, use the specified values to write an inverse variation equation that relates x and y, then find y when x=18. The questions

Question 337473: The instructions states that y varies inversely with x, use the specified values to write an inverse variation equation that relates x and y, then find y when x=18. The questions are x=6,y=9 and x=2/3,y=12, how do i find the answers to these questions and what is a inverse variation equation?

There is direct variation, where
and there is inverse variation, where or
So then solve for each k.

or
Complete the second one the same way.
