Question

Can someone help?

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 they act similarly, how do they act different?

Answer 1

ok pick a number
any number

Answer 2

9

Answer 3

fine that is a decent number,
then if \(y=-4x\) and \(x=9\) you get \(y=-4\times 9=-36\)

Answer 4

and for the second one, if \(y=\frac{4}{x}\) and \(x=9\) you get \[y=\frac{4}{9}\]and you that is that
