Question

select the correct answer.

an inverse variation includes the point \\((-8, -19)\\). which point would also belong in this inverse variation?

\\(\bigcirc (-19, -8)\\)
\\(\bigcirc (-8, 19)\\)
\\(\bigcirc (-19, 8)\\)
\\(\bigcirc (8, -19)\\)

Explanation:

Determine the constant of variation

$$ k = x \cdot y = (-8) \cdot (-19) = 152 $$

Test the given options for the same constant

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Identify the matching point

$$ (-19, -8) \implies 152 = k $$

Answer:

  • (A) \((-19, -8)\) (Correct answer)
  • (B) \((-8, 19)\)
  • (C) \((-19, 8)\)
  • (D) \((8, -19)\)
