y=16/x

Explanation:

"the initial statement is "yprop1/x

"to convert to an equation multiply by k the"
"constant of variation"

rArry=kxx1/x=k/x

"to find k use the given condition"

x=16,y=1

y=k/xrArrk=yx=1xx16=16

"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=16/x)color(white)(2/2)|))
