Question

Identify the type of variation represented by y=3/x

Answer 1

Inverse variation

Explanation:

Given equation is
`y=(3)/(x)`.

Now we need to identify the type of variation represented by
`y=(3)/(x)`.

We know that there are two type of variations direct and inverse.

If y and x are in direct variation then we write equation as
`y=kx`.

where k is the constant of variation.

If y and x are in inverse variation then we write equation as
`y=(k)/(x)`.

Given equation
`y=(3)/(x)` looks similar to
`y=(k)/(x)`.

So that means finala answer is "Inverse variation".
