What does it mean when it says, "plot Y vs. 1/X" (this is a physics question)?
These are the data that it asks you to graph.


X= 21 Y=400
X=38 Y=200
X=82 Y=100
X=155 Y=50
X=320 Y=25


And this is the rest of the question:
Graph the data by plotting Y vs. 1/X. What does this indicate?

For each given X (for a corresponding Y, calculate 1/X.

For Y = 400, X = 21, 1/X = 1/21 = 0.047619

Now plot (0.047619, 200) and continue....

What are your thoughts?
