y=21/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=3,y=7

y=k/xrArrk=x xxy=3xx7=21

"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=21/x)color(white)(2/2)|)))
