Answer:

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 4 when y = 15 , then

15 = [tex]\frac{k}{4}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 4 )

60 = k

y = [tex]\frac{60}{x}[/tex] ← equation of variation

When x = 6 , then

y = [tex]\frac{60}{6}[/tex] = 10
