\n" ); document.write( "if \"y\" varies inversely with \"x\", than you have a constant of proportionality \"k\" which makes \"y=k%2Fx\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then you need to find \"k\", the constant of proportionality\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=k%2Fx\"... now plug in given values \"x=3\" and \"y=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2=k%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"k+=+2%2A3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"k+=+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
