Answer 1

Answer:

This represent an inverse variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A winning $125 lottery ticket is shared with a number of people.

Represented by the equation xy =125.

To Find : Does this represent a direct variation or an inverse variation?

Solution :

We are given a relation

$xy =125$

$x =\frac{125}{y}$

So, x and y has an inverse relation

Hence this represent an inverse variation
