Answer:

y = 21/x

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse variation relation means ...

y = k/x

For the given values, we can determine the constant k:

3 = k/7

3×7 = k = 21

Then the function is ...

y = 21/x

Graph a direct variation function that goes through the point (-2, -6). what is the slope

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The slope is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation function will always go through the origin point (0, 0).

Therefore, we have the two points (0, 0) and (-2, -6).

We can use the slope formula to find the slope:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute and evaluate:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{0-(-6)}{0-(-2)}=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Therefore, the slope of the function is 3.

To graph, simply plot (0, 0) and (-2, -6) and draw a line connecting them. This is shown below.
