D) The solution is right

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Inverse variation is relationship between two variables

-  The relation expressed by an equation in which the product of

  two variables is equal to a constant

- If y varies inversely with x (y ∝ 1/x), then yx = k, where k is the

 constant of variation

* Lets solve the problem

A)

- y varies inversely with x

∵ y ∝ 1/x

∴ yx = k, where k is constant

∵ The graph of the function passes through point (50 , 3.6)

- We can find the value of k by substituting the coordinate of this

 point in the equation of variation

∵ x = 50 and y = 3.6

∴ (50)(3.6) = k

∴ k = 180

B)

- Substitute the value of k in the equation of variation

∵ yx = k

∵ k = 180

∴ yx = 180 is the equation of variation

C)

- Lets find y when x = 75

∵ yx = 180

- substitute the value of x in the equation of variation

∵ y(75) = 180

- Divide both sides by 75

∴ y = 2.4

∴ The value of y is 2.4 when x = 75

D)

- To check our solution lets substitute the value of y in the equation,

  if the left hand side has the same value of right hand side , then the

  solution is right

∵ yx = 180

∵ y = 2.4 , x = 75

∴ 2.4(75) = 180 which is the same with the right hand side

∴ The solution is right
