If the relationship between the manipulated variable and the responding variable is an inverse proportion, what will a line graph of this relationship look like?
A. a straight line
B. a curved line
C. a jagged line
D. none of the above
B?
Steve. you did not read
No, the correct answer is A. a straight line. In an inverse proportion, as the value of one variable increases, the value of the other variable decreases, and vice versa. This relationship can be represented by a straight line on a line graph.
No, the answer is actually A. a straight line.
In an inverse proportion, as the value of one variable increases, the value of the other variable decreases, and vice versa. This relationship can be represented by a straight line on a graph.
To create a line graph of an inverse proportion, you would plot the values of the manipulated variable on the x-axis and the values of the responding variable on the y-axis. As you connect these points with a straight line, you would observe that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases in a consistent, inverse manner.
