##### Inverse Variation HELP

 Algebra Tutor: None Selected Time limit: 1 Day

Suppose that x and y vary inversely.  x = 1 when y = 1. Write function that models the inverse variation. Then, find y when x = 10. Write in the form a/b if necessary.

y = __?__ when x = 10.

x and y are inversely proportional

that is xy=constant

for x=1 and y=1

constant=1

so, y=1/x

for x=10

y=1/10

y=0.1
