2. Choose the type of variation that relates the variables in the table.Xy3158401050joint variationinverse variationcombined variationdirect variation

Checking the ration of y:x,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{15}{3}=5 \\ \frac{40}{8}=5 \\ \frac{50}{10}=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]As the ratio is constant the variation is a direct variation.
Thus, option (D) is the correct solution..
