Answer:
The statement is incorrect because an inverse relationship between y and x would imply that the graph would be a downward curved graph whose slope changes rather than linear which has constant slope (see image).
Best to express this situation as:
There is a linear relationship between y and x with a negative constant slope. The keyword here is constant since the slope is the same in a linear relationship
Step-by-step explanation:
An inverse relationship exists between y and x when y is proportional to the reciprocal of y
This would be expressed in the form ∝
As x decreases , y increases or vice-versa. It is often expressed in equation form as or
where k is a constant and whose graph is curved in nature. The slope is changing for the range of x values not constant as would be the case for a linear graph
All we can say about the data is that there is a linear relationship between y and x with a negative constant slope
