I WILL GIVE MEDAL
Two different relationships are shown below.

Relationship 1: xy = 3

Relationship 2: I will post the Image

A graph is shown that has the following points plotted: one comma three, two comma six, three comma nine, four comma twelve.

a) Identify each relationship as direct or inverse variation.
b) Calculate the constant of each relationship and explain how you arrived at your answer.
c) Using complete sentences, explain how the two relationships are different, and how they are similar.

Here is the graph,

anonymous · Answer

direct variation 
to find the constant how much does it go up by each time?

loganator · Answer

3 is the constant

anonymous · Answer

yes, good job.

loganator · Answer

well xy = 3 looks like inverse variation

anonymous · Answer

@LogaNator i don't know what the other relationship is so ...

anonymous · Answer

but by theh graph you gave it would be direct because they are both going up

loganator · Answer

It is usually y =kx for direct variation not xy=k

anonymous · Answer

true but you can always switch things around. you can manipulate the variables

loganator · Answer

@jessicamccall 3 would be k, the constant and xy would be the variables

anonymous · Answer

In an inverse variation, the values of the two variables change in an opposite manner - as one value increases, the other decreases.

anonymous · Answer

however in this graph as one increases the other does as well

anonymous · Answer

@LogaNator you there?

loganator · Answer

yeah

anonymous · Answer

do you get it now?

loganator · Answer

@jessicamccall

loganator · Answer

I know it now, it isa)  Relation 1 inverse
     Relation 2 direct
b)  Relation 1:  3
      Relation 2:  3
c)  The relationships are the same because they have the same constant of variation.  They are different because in one case the product of the variables is equal to the constant and in the other case, the quotient of the variables is equal to the constant.
