Answer:

  9.  c. 1

  10.  c. y = 15/x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for inverse variation can be written as ...

  y = k/x

The value of k can be determined from given values of x and y. Multiply by x to get ...

  k = xy

Solving for x, you get ...

  x = k/y

___

9. k = (1/7)(49) = 7

  x = k/y = 7/7

  x = 1

__

10. k = (3)(5) = 15

  y = 15/x
