Question 765784: find the variation constant and an equation of variation where y varies inversely as x and y=20 when x=20
Answer by Cromlix(4381) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = k/x
20 = k/20
Variation constant = 400
k = 400
Therefore formula =>
y = 400/x
Hope this helps.
