We are told that x and y vary inversely. Knowing this, we want to write a function that models this inverse variation. Let's recall the general function form for inverse variation.
y=xk
In this formula, k is the constant of variation and it cannot equal 0. To find its value we will substitute the given values, x=13 and y=17, into the formula.
