1. Describe some similarities and differences between direct and inverse variation.

2. Describe what the graphs of direct and inverse variation look like.

3. Describe an example of something in life that demonstrates direct variation.

4. Describe an example of something in life that demonstrates inverse variation.

5. Think about the direct variation equation y = -4x and the inverse variation equation y = 4/x. Pick some numbers for x to plug into each equation and solve for y. How do the equations act similarly? How do they act differently?
