Answers:
This is an Inverse variation
The equation is y = 12/x which is the same as saying xy = 12
======================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that for each column, the x & y values multiply to 12.
- 1*12 = 12
- 2*6 = 12
- 3*4 = 12
- 4*3 = 12
- 6*2 = 12
- 8*1.5 = 12
- 10*1.2 = 12
- 12*1 = 12
This tells us that x*y = 12 which rearranges to y = 12/x
All inverse variation equations are of the form y = k/x which is equivalent to xy = k.
As x increases, y decreases, and vice versa.
