Direct and Inverse Operation

Show direct variation, inverse variation, or neither.

• Direct Variation

• Inverse Variation

• Neither

The variables x and y vary inversely, and y = 8 when x = 2. Write an equation that relates x and y. Then find y when x = -4.

• Direct Variation

• Inverse Variation

• Neither

The operation that reverses or "undoes" the effects of another operation. These are used to isolate a variable when solving equations.

• Reciprocal Operations

• Identity Operations

• Opposite Operations

• Inverse Operations
