What is the relationship between x->y and y->x in affirming the consequent?

  1. Inverse

  2. Converse

  3. Contrapositive

  4. Implication

The correct answer is: Converse

In affirming the consequent, the relationship between x->y and y->x is referred to as the converse. Affirming the consequent is a formal fallacy where one assumes that if the consequent (y) of a conditional statement (x->y) is true, then the antecedent (x) must also be true. The converse of a conditional statement switches the order of the antecedent and the consequent. In this case, y->x is the converse of x->y.
