Inverse Variation: y = k x
We are given x and y. We can plug these values into the equation above and solve for k, the constant in the variation.
5 = k 7
35 = k
We determined that k is the constant. But we are not done yet. We must form a new inverse variation with k.
y = k x
y = 35 x
And that's our newly-written inverse variation.
