Choose the correct relationship for the plot shown above a a

Choose the correct relationship for the plot shown above.

a). a direct proportion

b). an inverse proportion

c). linear with a positive slope and nonzero -intercept

d). linear with a negative slope and nonzero -intercept

Solution

As we can see from the graph , as the value of x increases the value of y decreases:

x =1 , y =12 ; x = 2 , y = 6 ; x= 3 , y =4

So, Its and inverse relationship

Its not a straight line so, question of slope

b) Inverse proportion.
