Question

Identify the type of variation represented by y=3/x

Answer 1

Answer:

Inverse variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $y=\frac{3}{x}$.

Now we need to identify the type of variation represented by  $y=\frac{3}{x}$.

We know that there are two type of variations direct and inverse.

If y and x are in direct variation then we write equation as  $y=kx$.

where k is the constant of variation.

If y and x are in inverse variation then we write equation as   $y=\frac{k}{x}$.

Given equation  $y=\frac{3}{x}$ looks similar to  $y=\frac{k}{x}$.

So that means finala answer is "Inverse variation".
