Does the table represent an inverse variation? Why or why not? x 2 6 10 12 y 4 8 12 14
NO - x is increasing as y is increasing - (2*4) = 8 (6*8) = 48 . . . the product is different!

Does the table represent an inverse variation? x 2 4 5 8 10 y 50 25 20 12.5 10 How do you know?
YES - x increases while y decreases AND - 2*50 = 100 4*25 = 100 5*20 = 100 ALL products are equal
