Consider two variables x and y.
If x varies directly as y then y = cx where c is some constant of variation. This means that whenever x increases, y increases and it increases by c times as much as the increase in x. Also, if x decreases, then y decreases by c times the decrease in x.
If x varies inversely as y then y = k/x where k is some constant of variation. This means that whenever x increases, y decreases and it decreases by k times as much as the increase in x. Also, if x decreases, then y increases by k times the decrease in x.

direct
What is the difference between a direct and inverse relationship?
direct means it stays the same while inverse means it will change.
What are two types of mathematical relationships that exist between different variables?
Direct or inverse relationships,that is a problem
How are direct variation and joint variation related?
Both are variations of certain kinds of equations. X=kY is a direct variation since X varies directly as Y and k is the constant of variation. X=k/Y is an inverse variation where X varies inversly as Y and k is the constant of variation. Both of these variations are also functions.
What is the opposite of inverse?
direct
Differentiate direct proportion from inverse proportion?
when both increaes its direct proportion and when one increase and othe decreases its inverse proportion.
Is the relationship between the pressure and volume of a confined gas direct or inverse?
Inverse.
How do you do a direct variation with an inverse variation problem?
If a variable X is in inverse variation with a variable Y, then it is in direct variation with the variable (1/Y).
What do you know about direct proportion and inverse proportion?
direct proportion: y=kx inverse proportion: y=k/x

How can you tell if it is inverse proportion from direct proportion?
you can't
How can you tell when a relationship between two numbers is a direct proportion or an inverse proportion?
For example the number 5. * A direct proportion would be 5/1 * The inverse would be 1/5
How do you solve inverse functions?
First determine whether the equation is a direct variation or a regular equation. 1. Direct Variations in inverse can be solved in the following. y=6x switch y with x ---> x=6y solve for y 2.Regular equations in inverse can be solved in the following. y=-2x-10 switch y with x----> x=-2y-10 add 10---> x+10=2y solve for y
