An inverse proportion between two variables is when the value of one variable increases, the other decreases. Mathematically, this is shown as:
x = k / yn
where x and y are the two variables, and k and n are constants.

What is an algebraic relationship that can be written in form yx plus a?
The two variables are in inverse proportion and, graphically, will form a hyperbola.

In inverse proportion x equals 2 and y equals 36 but what will y be when x equals 4?
Inverse proportion implies xy = c where c is the constant of [inverse] proportionality. x = 2 and y = 36 implies xy = 72 = c So the relationship is xy = 72 Then, if x = 4, y = 72/x = 72/4 = 18
How do you solve the proportion of something?
There cannot be a "proportion of something": proportion is a relationship between two things, and how you solve it depends on whether they (or their transformations) are in direct proportion or inverse proportion.
What is the relationship between two variable if the product of the variables is constant?
inversely proportional or inverse proportion
What is the relationship between density and surface tension?
as we know the relation between surface tension and temperature is inverse, and that of temperature and density also has inverse proportion, then it is clear that the '''surface tension is directly proportion to the density'''.
What do you know about direct proportion and inverse proportion?
direct proportion: y=kx inverse proportion: y=k/x
What are the 4 kinds of proportionality in physics?

Differentiate direct proportion from inverse proportion?
when both increaes its direct proportion and when one increase and othe decreases its inverse proportion.
What is the opposite of proportion?
Inverse is the opposite of proportion
What is an algebraic relationship that can be written in form yx plus a?
The two variables are in inverse proportion and, graphically, will form a hyperbola.
How can you know if a graph represents a proportional relationship?
It is a relationship of direct proportion if and only if the graph is a straight line which passes through the origin. It is an inverse proportional relationship if the graph is a rectangular hyperbola. A typical example of an inverse proportions is the relationship between speed and the time taken for a journey.
What is relationship between two sets of data as one set of values decreases as the other set increases?
Inverse proportion
What da hell is inverse proportion?
Inverse proportion is a mathematical concept and has nothing whatsoever to do with religious concepts such as hell.
If y14 then x8 find y when x12?
It is not possible to answer the question since there is no information as to whether the relationship between x and y is one of direct proportion, inverse proportion or something else.
