Q. Which equation describes this relationship? Remember to include kk, the constant of variation.\newlinezz varies inversely with xx and yy\newlineChoices:\newline(A) z=kxyz = \frac{k}{xy}\newline(B) z=kxyz = \frac{kx}{y}\newline(C) z=kxyz = kxy\newline(D) z=kyxz = \frac{ky}{x}
  1. Identify equation form: Since zz varies inversely with both xx and yy, the equation should have zz on one side and the product of xx and yy in the denominator on the other side.
  2. Determine correct equation form: The correct form for an equation where zz varies inversely with xx and yy is z=kxyz = \frac{k}{xy}, where kk is the constant of variation.
  3. Match equation form with choices: Looking at the choices, (A)z=kxy(A)z = \frac{k}{xy} matches the form we need for an inverse variation with both xx and yy.
