Which graph shows an inverse proportion?

The answer is B. Inverse variations are in the form y = k/x, so they will never touch y=0 or x=0. Yes, they are curved, but they have the characteristic that as one coordinate increases, the other decreases. That eliminates A.

Direction variations (or direct proportions) are special lines that go through (0,0). Always a line, never a curve.

This is the question I don't know:

Is an inverse proportion never straight? Is a direct prop straight? If the answer is A, who not B? What IS an inverse prop?

THANKS!

B) shows one half of an inverse proportion. It leaves out the half where x is negative.

To see the graph of the simplest inverse proportion click on the following link - half of which is your graph - click on the following link:

The answer is choice B.

Inverse proportion means that the x value will increase AS the y decreases at the same time.

Inverse means that as x increases, y decreases. As one goes up, the other goes down.

The answer is B.

Hope this helps.
