write a formula that expresses the relationship P varies jointly as x and y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let k = the the constant of variation
\n" ); document.write( "P = xyk
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "and P=8 when x=3 and y=-10
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 3*-10*k
\n" ); document.write( "find k
\n" ); document.write( "8 = -30k
\n" ); document.write( "k = \"8%2F%28-30%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "k = -.267
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "P = -.267xy is the formula
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
