Formula
Inverse Variation: xy = k or y = k/x; If (x₁,y₁) known, then k = x₁×y₁
- Inverse Variation calculates its result from X1, Y1. It uses the formula Inverse Variation: xy = k or y = k/x; If (x₁,y₁) known, then k = x₁×y₁. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are First X Value, First Y Value, Second X Value. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
