Question

This relation is an inverse variation {(-1,8),(4,-2),(-2,4)} what equation represents this relation?

Answer 1

`y = - (8)/(x)`

Step-by-step explanation

An inverse variation equation is of the form:

`y = (k)/(x)`

We plug in the point (-1,8).

`8= (k)/( - 1)`

This implies that k=-8

Therefore the inverse variation equation is :

`y = - (8)/(x)`
