    Inverse Variation
    The equation is X = 1 7 14
    Y = 70 10 5

    Is the relationship between x and y an inverse variation? If it is, they what is the equation for the relationship?

    Inverse relation is y=k/x.

    Plug in your x and y values, solve for k. Do you get the same k value for each?

    If so, it's an inverse.
