Write an inverse variation equation:
\ (Inverse variation equation)
(Substitute
and
)
(Multiply:
)
The constant variation is .
Therefore, the inverse variation equation is (or)
.
The product of the and
is
.

Observe the table:
\Since is undefined when
, there is no point on the graph.
Graph:
\Graph the equation .
Plot the points obtained in the table.
\Observe the graph:
\There is no point on the graph when .
So, the graph is a hyperbola.
\The inverse variation equation is (or)
.
Graph of the equation is
There is no point on the graph when .
The graph is a hyperbola.
