Answer: A. inverse variation; xy = 20
ANSWER
Step-by-step explanation: Brainly
B) xy=20
Inverse because it is of the form y=k/x, intuitively you can see that as x increases y decreases, hence "inverse variation".

Answer:
Option B is correct
Inverse variation , xy = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Inverse variation states:
If
then the equation is in the form of:
or
xy = k ....[1]
As per the statement:
Given the data:
x : 2 4 8 12
y : 10 5 5/2 5/3
Let any value of x and y to find k:
x = 4 and y = 5
Substitute in [1] we have;
⇒20 = k
or
k = 20
then we get;
xy = 20
Check:
Substitute x = 12 and y = 5/3
⇒ true.
Therefore, the the data in the table represent a inverse variation and an equation to model the data in the table is, xy = 20
