the function y = a / x is given Which function will be obtained if the point P (-2,3) belongs to the graph of the given function

The function is y = -6 / x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (-2, 3) belongs to the function, we know that x = -2, y = 3 is a solution to the function so when we plug those values in to solve for a, we get:

3 = a / (-2)

3 * (-2) = a / (-2) * (-2)

-6 = a so the function is y = -6 / x.
