x is inversely proportional to y squared 1/x ∝ y^2 Therefore 1/x equals some constant multiplied by y squared ∴ 1/x = ky^2 (k is a constant) Find the value of the constant using values given for y = 2, x = 1 1/1 = 4k ∴ k = 1/4 Now use the newly found constant and the second y value to find the second x value for y = 6 k = 1/4 1/x = 1/4 x 6^2 1/x = 9 ∴ x = 1/9Related questions
