Answer

Therefore, our equation for the inverse variation is y=−2/x or xy = -2

Work Step by Step

Our equation for an inverse variation is y=k/x or xy=k. We will use the second form of the equation to solve for k. (−2)×1=k −2=k k=−2 Therefore, our equation for the inverse variation is y=−2/x or xy = -2
