Answer:
The missing value of [tex]x =\frac{20}{7} =2 \frac{6}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse variation is given by: [tex]x \propto \frac{1}{y}[/tex]
Now convert this into an equation we must multiply the constant variation k we get,
[tex]x =\frac{k}{y}[/tex]
To find the value of k;
use the coordinates (5,4) , where x =5 and y =4
then,
[tex]5=\frac{k}{4}[/tex] or
[tex]k =5 \times 4[/tex]
On Simplify, we get:
k = 20
the equation become: [tex]x=\frac{20}{y}[/tex]
When y =7 we have;
[tex]x= \frac{20}{7}[/tex]
(x ,7) = [tex](\frac{20}{7} , 7)[/tex]
therefore, the missing value x is, [tex]x =\frac{20}{7} =2 \frac{6}{7}[/tex]
