Answer:


y=-(8)/(x)

Explanation:

Inverse proportions can be represented by an equation in the form:


\boxed{y=(k)/(x)}

where:

  • y and x are the two quantities in the proportion.
  • k is the constant of proportionality.

To write an expression for the graphed function, first input the given point (-2, 4) into the inverse proportion equation and solve for k:


\implies y=(k)/(x)


\implies 4=(k)/(-2)


\implies 4 \cdot (-2)=(k)/(-2)\cdot (-2)


\implies -8=k


\implies k=-8

Therefore, the expression for the graphed function is:


\boxed{y=-(8)/(x)}
