Write and solve inverse variation equations
Full solution
Q.
The quantities
x
x
x
and
y
y
y
are proportional,
x
=
8
x = 8
x
=
8
and
y
=
9
y=9
y
=
9
Find the constant of proportionality (
r
r
r
) in the equation.
y
=
r
x
y=rx
y
=
r
x
General Form:
General form of direct proportion is
y
=
r
x
y = rx
y
=
r
x
.
Substitute Values:
Given
x
=
8
x = 8
x
=
8
and
y
=
9
y = 9
y
=
9
, substitute into
y
=
r
x
y = rx
y
=
r
x
to find
r
r
r
.
Equation Solution:
So,
9
=
r
×
8
9 = r \times 8
9
=
r
×
8
.
Solve for r:
Divide both sides by
8
8
8
to solve for r,
r
=
9
8
r = \frac{9}{8}
r
=
8
9
.
Calculate r:
Calculate r,
r
=
1.125
r = 1.125
r
=
1.125
.
