Constant variation is a relationship between two variables where one is a fixed multiple of the other. The graph of such a relationship is a straight line through the origin.
In general the function and it inverse are not the same and do not have the same graph. If we look at a special function f(x)=x, it is equal to its inverse and the graph is the same. Think of the inverse of a function as changing all the x's to y's and vice versa. Well, in the function f(x)=x, all the x's are already y's and vice versa so it is its own invese.
hyperbola
The graph of the function y(x) = 1/x is a hyperbola.
x goes up by 1,2,3,4, etc. and y goes up at a steady rate in the graph its a stright line
A hyperbola.
Inverse variation does not pass through the origin, however direct variation always passes through the origin.
It is a relationship of direct proportion if and only if the graph is a straight line which passes through the origin. It is an inverse proportional relationship if the graph is a rectangular hyperbola. A typical example of an inverse proportions is the relationship between speed and the time taken for a journey.
The general shape of the line indicates whether the relationship is linear, quadratic, polynomial, power, inverse etc. It will also help determine whether the relationship remains the same over the whole domain or changes. The scatter of the observations about a line gives a measure of the variation in the observations about the values that might be expected from the line graph.
no you cant
Inverse
A direct relationship if the slope of the line is positive. An inverse relationship if the slope of the line is negative.
On a gravitational force vs distance graph, the relationship exhibited is an inverse square relationship. This means that as the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between them decreases proportionally to the square of the distance.
If the graph shows a direct relationship, then the line will go up. If it shows an inverse relationship, the line will go down. A direct relationship means that as one variable increases, so does the other. On a graph, this means that as we move out along one axis, we also move out along the other. An inverse relationship means that as one variable increases, the other one decreases. So, for example, as we move to the right (X increasing), we have to move down (Y decreasing).
A graph of complimentary goods in economics represents the relationship between the price of of commodity & demand for it's complementary. Thus it shows a inverse relationship.
because it is a methodical answer and that is why i am asking you
