Explanation:
#"the initial statement is "yprop(xz)/w^2#
#"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"#
#"of variation"#
#rArry=kxx(xz)/w^2=(kxz)/w^2#
#"to find k use the given condition"#
#y=20" when "x=-0.5,z=4" and "w=5#
#y=(kxz)/w^2rArrk=(yxxw^2)/(xz)=(20xx5^2)/(-0.5xx4)=-250#
#"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=-(250xz)/w^2)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
