Inverse Variation

This document contains materials from a mathematics lesson on direct and inverse variation. It includes examples of tables showing direct and inverse relationships between variables x and y. It asks students to observe patterns in the tables, determine the constants of variation, write the equations representing the relationships, and solve word problems applying concepts of direct and inverse variation. Examples and activities guide students to practice skills in identifying, representing and solving problems involving direct and inverse proportional relationships between variables.

pairs of numbers whose product is constant
 for two quantities x and y, an increase in
x causes a decrease in y or a decrease in x
causes an increase in y
