Question

Identify the variation as direct, inverse, joint or combined. xy = 24

Answer 1

It's inverse.
The formula for inverse is xy=k
In this case k=24

Answer 2

Inverse variation

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form
`y*x=k` or
`y=k/x`

In this problem we have

`y*x=24`

so

the constant k is equal to
`24`

If the value of x increase-----> the value of y decrease

If the value of x decrease-----> the value of y increase

the equation represent a inverse variation
