| {(−3,−16),(6,8),(12,4)} |
Consider the relation given above. You have learned how to verify that a relation is an inverse variation by finding the product of each corresponding x and y value, and confirming that it is the same for each ordered pair. In this topic, you will extend your knowledge of inverse variations as you learn how to write inverse variation equations. You will also learn how to use inverse variation equations to solve practical problems.
