Answer

$\text{B}$

Work Step by Step

Recall: An inverse variation between $x$ and $y$ is represented by an equation of the form $xy=k$ where $k$ is the constant of variation. Option A: Multiplying $z$ to both sides of the equation gives $xz=y$. Thus, this equation does not represent an inverse variation between $x$ and $y$. Option B Multiplying $y$ to both sides of the equation gives $xy=-15z$. Thus, this equation represents an inverse variation between $x$ and $y$. Option C Multiplying $x$ to both sides of the equation gives $xz=-15y$. Thus, this equation does not represent an inverse variation between $x$ and $y$. Option D The equation $xz=5y$ does not represent an inverse variation between $x$ and $y$. Therefore, the answer is Option B.
