Answer

Therefore, our equation for the inverse variation is y=2.5/x or xy=2.5

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. 1/2×5=k 2.5=k So, k=2.5 Therefore, our equation for the inverse variation is y=2.5/x or xy=2.5
