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
.
