Answer:

Inverse relationship

Explanation:

The equation we are looking at is;

y = 87.2/x

which implies xy = 87.2

If it was a direct relationship

y = constant * x

if it was inverse, it would have been

y * x = constant

since 87.2 is a constant, the question looks exactly like the second scenario.

This means that what we have is an inverse relationship
