Essential Steps – Equation of Inverse Proportion

Secondary 2

Step \(1\):

For inverse proportion, equation will be in the form of \(\Box = \frac{k}{\Box}\)

Step \(2\):

Substitute the given values of \(A\) and \(B\) to find \(k\).

Step \(3\):

Substitute the value of \(k\) into step \(1\) equation to form the equation connecting \(A\) and \(B\).

Example

\(A\) is inversely proportional to \(B\). Given that \(A = 8\) and \(B = 36\), find an equation connecting \(A\) and \(B\).
