hi can anyone help with how to graph an inverse variation? y= -18/x

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

I would probably pick "convenient" values. Things that would make the calculation easier. So if x = 18, then y = -18/18 = -1, or if x = -9, then y = -18/-9 = 2, and so on. Does that help at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that helps, thanks :)

Fractions are just too annoying to deal with, so just skip the values you don't like... :)
