$y = - \frac{60}{x}$ $y=-60/x$

Explanation:

$the initial statement is y \propto \frac{1}{x}$ $"the initial statement is "yprop1/x$

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

$\Rightarrow y = \frac{k}{x}$ $rArry=k/x$

$to find k use the given condition$ $"to find k use the given condition"$

$y = - 12 when x = 5$ $y=-12" when "x=5$

$y = \frac{k}{x} \Rightarrow k = y x = - 12 \times 5 = - 60$ $y=k/xrArrk=yx=-12xx5=-60$

$"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=-60/x)color(white)(2/2)|)))$
