Question

Graphing/Slopes (Easy points!!) (ASAP) (URGENT) (Please check my other questions)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement is incorrect because an inverse relationship between y and x would imply that the graph would be a downward curved graph whose slope changes rather than linear which has constant slope  (see image).

Best to express this situation as:
There is a linear relationship between y and x with a negative constant slope. The keyword here is constant since the slope is the same in a linear relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse relationship exists between y and x when y is proportional to the reciprocal of y

This would be expressed in the form $y$ ∝ $\frac{1}{x}$

As x decreases , y increases or vice-versa. It is often expressed in equation form as $y=\frac{k}{x}$  or $y = kx^{-1}$   where k is a constant and  whose graph is curved in nature. The slope is changing for the range of x values not constant as would be the case for a linear graph

All we can say about the data is that there is a linear relationship between y and x  with a negative constant slope
