PLS HELP WORTH 35 POINTS!!

in wich of the tables are x and y inversely proportional
A
x=1,2,3,4
y=6,3,2,1.5
B
x=2,3,5,7
y=7.5,5,3,2
C
x=1,3,4,24
y=24,8,6,1
D:
x=0.1,0.3,25,100
y=200,40,0.8,0.2

Answer 1

Answer: c

Explanation:

Answer 2

A, C

Explanation:

If it is inversely proportional then y = k/x

Let's try one by one for the options. (im replacing y and x in the equation and finding k to see if k is the same all throughout)

A.

6 = k/1 (k=6)

3 = k/2 (k=6)

2 = k/3 (k=6)

1.5 = k/4 (k=6)

Yes! It's the same everywhere so this is correct!

B.

7.5 = k/2 (k=15)

5 = k/3 (k=15)

3 = k/5 (k=15)

2 = k/7 (k=14)

For the last one k is not the same so nope. It is wrong.

C.

24 = k/1 (k=24)

8 = k/3 (k=24)

k = 6×4 = 24

k = 24×1 = 24

This is correct too.

D.

k = 0.1×200 = 20

k = 0.3×40 = 12

k = 0.8 × 25 = 20

We can already see that k is not the same everywhere.

Only A and C, x and y are inversely proportional for all of the values
