X is inversely proportional to Y. Circle the correct statement.

The statement "X is inversely proportional to Y" means that X and Y are linked by the equation: X = k / Y where k is a constant of proportionality. This can also be written as: X = k * (1/Y) When an equation is in the form A = k * B, it means "A is directly proportional to B". In our case, A is X and B is (1/Y). So, we can say that "X is directly proportional to 1/Y". Let's look at the options: - A: X is directly proportional to Y (X = kY) - Incorrect. - B: X is directly proportional to 1/Y (X = k/Y) - Correct. - C: X is directly proportional to 2Y (X = k(2Y)) - Incorrect. - D: X is directly proportional to √Y (X = k√Y) - Incorrect.
