The set that satisfies an inverse variation is Set J that is (2, 6) and (-3, -4).

To determine which set of ordered pairs satisfies an inverse variation, remember that in inverse variation, the product of the two variables remains constant. Here's how we can analyze each set:

F. (6, 3) and (8, 4):

6 * 3 = 18

8 * 4 = 32

The product is not constant, so this set does not satisfy inverse variation.

G. (2, -3) and (4, 5):

2 * (-3) = -6

4 * 5 = 20

The product is not constant, so this set does not satisfy inverse variation.

H. (4,-2) and (-5, 10):

4 * (-2) = -8

-5 * 10 = -50

The product is not constant, so this set does not satisfy inverse variation.

J. (2, 6) and (-3, -4):

2 * 6 = 12

-3 * -4 = 12

The product is constant (12), so this set satisfies inverse variation!

Therefore, only J. (2, 6) and (-3, -4) satisfies an inverse variation.
