Is distance traveled versus time at a constant speed a direct or inverse porportion?

Think about it. If you travel for more time, would you advance a greater distance (that would be a direct proportion), or less distance (that would be an inverse proportion)?

What inverse relation means?
Two variables, X and Y, are in inverse relation if X*Y = a constant.
What is an inverse proportion?
Two variables are said to be in inverse proportion if their product is a constant.So, if X and Y are in inverse proportion, thenXY = k or Y = k/X for some constant k.If you double X then Y is halved. If you decrease X by a factor of 3 then Y is trebled.A common example is Speed and Time for covering a fixed Distance.
Does a constant of proportionality exist?
Yes, it does. Every time there are variables in direct or inverse relationship, there is a constant of proportionality.
Is the inverse proportion one in which the product of the two variables is constant?
Yes.
What does inverse variation mean?
Two variables X and Y are in inverse variation if X*Y = c for some non-zero constant c.
Does a constant always have an inverse?
No, zero does not have an inverse. The inverse of x is 1/x. x<>0
What 4pie refers to in force constant in coloumbs law?
it refers to the inverse of the force between two point charges separated through unit distance.
What is the constant k in directs and inverse equations?
The constant could be any number.
What inverse relation means?
Two variables, X and Y, are in inverse relation if X*Y = a constant.
What is an inverse variation?
Two variables, X and Y, are said to be in inverse variation with one another if X*Y is a constant - known as the constant of variation. Typical example: average speed and time taken (for a journey of fixed distance). You double the speed, you halve the time required. You treble the speed the time drops to a third, etc.
What is the inverse variation?
The inverse variation is the indirect relationship between two variables. The form of the inverse variation is xy = k where k is any real constant.
What linear functions are non inverse function?
x = constant.

What is apron constant?
apron constant is inverse of transmission ratio of the feed rod pinion of apron box
