Observe the table:
\The ordered pairs are .
In an inverse variation, equals a constant
.
Find inverse or not.
\Find .
Product of the ordered pairs:
\
.
The product is not constant, so the table does not represent an inverse variation.
\Find direct or indirect variation.
\\
Therefore, the data in the table can be represented by the equation .
Direct; The data in the table can be represented by the equation .
