22.1.3 Defining the Inverse-Proportion Function

Core idea

Double one quantity and the other is halved, which we write as y=k/x (k≠0), and that's an inverse-proportion function.

Module goal. Building on linear functions, draw out the inverse-proportion function from everyday situations where two quantities multiply to a fixed amount, then set up the concept and its expression.
