Question

Write a direct or inverse variation equation for each relation

x/ 3 / 4 / 8
------------
y/ 24/ 18 / 9

Answer 1

@ZeHanz can you help me

Answer 2

If it is to be direct, the it would be: the larger x gets, the larger y gets.
This is not the case, so it is an inverse relation.
There is a simple formula that goes with it: xy = constant.
That gives it (practically) away...

Answer 3

I think I figured it out is the answer y = 72/x

Answer 4

You have found it! The constant I've been telling you about is 72.
So xy=72, or y=72/x

Answer 5

thank you :)

Answer 6

YW!
