Which best describes the function containing the points in the table? a. direct variation; k = 4 b. direct variation; k = 1/4 c. inverse variation; k = 4 d. inverse variation; k = 1/4

The correct answer is inverse variation.

In an inverse variation, the product of the terms always remains the same. Consider the given values of x and y. For each row, the product of x and y is constant and equals 4.

So, the relation between x and y is inverse and the constant of proportionality is 4, the product of x and y.

The equation can be expressed as



Using, various value of x from the table will give you the corresponding y-values.

So the answer to this question is option C

The answer to that is 6
