Joe plotted the points (2, 0.5), (1, 1), and (0.5, 2), and claimed that these points represent an inverse variation relationship
. Which statement supports his claim? xy = 1 for all points.
xy = for all points.
The graph of these points will be linear.
Inverse variation states that as one quantity increases, the other quantity also increases.
We are going to demonstrate this affirmation: (2) * (0.5) = 1 (1) * (1) = 1 (0.5) * (2) = 1 Therefore, the relationship between the ordered pairs is inverse. The relationship between the ordered pairs is: y = 1 / x
