Answer
$y = \frac{1.5}{x}$ or $xy = 1.5$
Work Step by Step
Our equation for an inverse variation is $y = \frac{k}{x}$ or $xy = k$. We will use the second form of the equation to solve for k.
$0.5\times3 = k$
$1.5 = k$
$k = 1.5$
Therefore, our equation for the inverse variation is $y = \frac{1.5}{x}$ or $xy = 1.5$
