Question

Compare the graphs of the inverse variations. y=1/x and y=2.5/x

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph of

$y = \frac{2.5}{x}$

us a vertical stretch of the graph of

$y = \frac{1}{x}$

by a factor of 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

$y = \frac{1}{x}$

and

$y = \frac{2.5}{x}$

The graph of

$y = \frac{1}{x}$

is the parent rational function.

The graph of

$y = \frac{2.5}{x}$

is a vertical stretch of the parent rational function by a factor of 2.5
