Is the relationship between the variables in the table a direct variation, an inverse variation, both, or neither? If it is a direct or inverse variation, write a function to model it.

Question

Is the relationship between the variables in the table a direct variation, an inverse variation, both, or neither? If it is a direct or inverse variation, write a function to model it.

Responses

direct variation; y=x+10
direct variation; y is equal to x plus 10

direct variation; y=10x
direct variation; y is equal to 10 x

inverse variation; y=10x
inverse variation; y is equal to 10 over x

neither

Answer 1

The relationship between the variables in the table is neither a direct nor inverse variation, as there is no consistent relationship between x and y that can be described by a simple equation.
