Answer to Problem 29WE
Here, x and y are inversely related.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Travelling 200 miles at
Calculation:
The equation for the inverse variation of a function is
Graph the function
The graph of the given equation is a hyperbola.
On comparing the given equation with the inverse variation, the value of k is 200. From the graph, as x decreases, y increases. So, x and y are inversely related.
Conclusion:
Therefore, x and y are inversely related.
