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.

What is the difference between a direct and inverse relationship?
direct means it stays the same while inverse means it will change.

What do you know about direct proportion and inverse proportion?
direct proportion: y=kx inverse proportion: y=k/x
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.
