ANSWER:

k = 4, y = 4/x

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Since they are inverses they have the following form the equation

[tex]y=k\cdot\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

now, x = 2 and y = 2, therefore, replacing and solving for k:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2=k\cdot\frac{1}{2} \\ k=2\cdot2 \\ k=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

We replace and we would have the equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4\cdot\frac{1}{x} \\ y=\frac{4}{x} \end{gathered}[/tex]
