Iknow that inverse variation formula is y=k/x
and that if x increases y decreases.
but in the following ordered pairs it confuses me that the formula matches
-3=-48/16
-3=-3 so this should be inverse variation

but as x increases i see that y increases too.
this is not suppose to happen or am i not understanding it.
{(-624)}

clarify if this is direct variation, inverse variation or neither.

(least common multiples) the answer that i had in the 1st step was lcm of airline tickets sold=72. idk if that even matters but just in case. ! three co-workers are busy selling airline tickets over the phone. in an 8-hour day, charles can sell 8 airline tickets, ann can sell 9 airline tickets, and michelle can sell 6 airline tickets. step 2 of 2: what is the smallest number of 8-hour days needed for each of them to achieve the same number of sales? it takes charles . it takes . it takes .
