Concept explainers
To determine if the relationship between the two quantities is a direct variation.
Answer to Problem 6IP
The relationship between the two quantities is inverse variation.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Two points on the graph are
Concept Used:
Slope of a line is given by
If the slope of the line is positive, then it is direct variation.
If the slope of the line is negative, then it is inverse variation.
Calculation:
The relationship between the two quantities is a direct variation.
Here the values are,
The relationship between the two quantities can be obtained as,
Since, the value of m is negative.
Therefore,
The relationship between the two quantities is not a direct variation.
