Answer:

y varies inversely with x is written as

y = k /x

where k is the constant of variation

y = 8 x = 1.55

8 = k / 1.55

Multiply through by 1.55

k = 12.4

The formula is

y = 12.4 / x

when y = - 0.62

- 0.62 = 12.4/x

- 0.62x = 12.4

Divide both sides by - 0.62

x = 12.4/-0.62

x = - 20

When y = - 0.62 x = - 20

Hope this helps
