What is Inverse Variation?
Inverse variation means one quantity rises as the other falls, so their product stays fixed: y = k/x. Doubling x halves y, which is the behaviour of speed against time for a fixed distance.
How it works
The product of the two known values gives k when x and y are known; the remaining value comes from dividing k by the other. Zero inputs, which would mean dividing by zero, are reported rather than returned as infinity.
