If y varies inversely as x, find the inverse variation equation for the situation.
-$y = 60$ when $x = 2$
A) $y = 30 x$
B) $y = \frac { 120 } { x }$
C) $y = \frac { x } { 120 }$
D) $y = \frac { 1 } { 120 x }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inverse variation is described by the equation $y = \frac{k}{x}$, where $k$ is a constant. Given $y = 60$ when $x = 2$, we find $k = 60 \times 2 = 120$. Thus, the equation is $y = \frac{120}{x}$.
