Question

Which of the following represents inverse variation?

y equals nine divided by x

y equals three plus x

y divided by x equals negative ten

y equals negative one-sixth x

Answer 1

Which one includes division?

Answer 2

Which value for slope represents the steepest line? Explain.

Negative thirty-five eighths or negative three or negative five-sixths or negative four

Answer 3

Well, if there is "inverse variation" between \(x\) and \(y\), then \(x\times y\) equals a constant.

ignore the last question help with this one

Answer 5

???

Answer 6

These are your choices:
\(\bullet\quad y=\dfrac{9}{x}\)
\(\bullet\quad y=3+x\)
\(\bullet\quad \dfrac{y}{x}=-10\)
\(\bullet\quad y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x\)

Now, I'm used to just looking for where \(y\) equals a term that has a plain old \(x\) in the denominator.

Do you see an equation like that?
