is this a direct variation, an inverse variation or neither?

Question

X values are 24, 4, 12

Y values are 30, 5, 15

Answer 1

If the variation is direct, the y/x ratios will be the same. If the variation is inverse, the xy products will be the same. That is how you can test to see which one applies.

30/24 = 1.25

5/4 = 1.25

15/12 = 1.25

The y/x ratios are the same, so this is direct variation.
