A. Multiple Choice (1 point each)

1. The speed r of a moving object is inversely proportional to the time t travelled is written as
k t
a. r = kt b. r = c. t=kr d. r =
t k
2. Find the equation of y varies inversely as x.
k k
a. y=kx b. y= c. x=ky d. =x
x y
3. Solve for k: y varies inversely as x and y = 6 when x = 18.
a. k = 108 b. k = 180 c.k = 81 d. k = 810
