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?

any number

9

satellite73 · Answer

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

satellite73 · Answer

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