Question 273260: Modeling Inverse Variation:
Find y when x=32.
--I know the formula for solving this type of question: y = k/x. But I somehow end up with the equation like: y = k/32 and I'm stuck at a supposed dead end. What do I do next or is that wrong? I have no idea...
Thanks in advance!

Well you'd need to know a point that lies on y=k%2Fx in order to find the value of k. Once you know the value of k, you can use this to find the value of y when x=32. Please post the entire problem.
