Math question?

yes

Directrix (directrix):

In an inverse variation, the values of the two variables change in an opposite manner - as one value increases, the other decreases. In a direct variation, the two variables change in the same sense. If one increases, so does the other. http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/algebra/AO4/Ldirect.htm

Multiply each x times its corresponding y. For example, 10 * 1/2 = ? 15 * 1/3 = ? and so on for all the paired data. Post what you get, okay?

5? @Directrix

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

i think so.. what do you say dir?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, so x*y = 5

Directrix (directrix):

According to the definition, that is inverse variation. Solve x * y = 5 for y and you'll be finished. @rawmoli
