Given:
The equations are given as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x-8y=-7 \\ 10y\text{ = -5x} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Required:
Direct and inverse variation verification.
Explanation:
(a) The equations are given as follows:
[tex]3x-8y\text{ = -7}[/tex]
On simplifying further,
[tex]3x\text{ = 8y - 7}[/tex]
The given equation is not a direct variation.
(b) The equation is given as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 10y\text{ = -5x} \\ -5x\text{ = 10y} \\ x\text{ = -2y } \end{gathered}[/tex]
The given equation represents inverse variation.
Answer:
Thus the required result is,
a) Not a direct variation
b) A direct variation( k = -2)
