"indirectly proportional" appears to be interchangeable with "inversely proportional."
When a dependent variable is inversely proportional to an independent variable, that means it decreases as the dependent one increases, and vice versa. For example, a Baseball player's batting average is inversely proportional to the number of at-bats. (It's directly proportional to the number of hits he gets.) In other words, as the number of at-bats increases, the player's batting average decreases. Another example is gravitational attraction between two bodies. The gravitational force between two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

What it is inverse and direct proportion?
Direct Proportion means that as one increases, the other also increases.Inverse proportion is the reciprocal of direct proportion. If something is in the direct proportion of 1:3, then the inversion proportion is 3:1.OrIndirect Proportion means that as one increases the other decreases, or one is directly proportional to 1 divided by the other. Example: Pressure is indirectly proportional to volume, or Pressure is directly proportional to 1/Volume.
Is 120-xL proportional or not proportional?
It is an expression, not an equation and so cannot be proportional nor non-proportional.
What is directly and inversely proportional relationship?
Directly proportional relationship is F=ma, F is directly proportional to a. Inversely proportional relationship is v=r/t, v is inversely proportional to t.
What is an antonym for proportional?
Disproportional.If instead you're looking for the antonym of directly proportional, that would be inversely proportional.

How do mass and distance effect the force of gravity?
gravitational force is directly proportional to mass ie it increases with the increase in mass. it is indirectly proportional to distance ie it decreases with the increase in distance.

What does it mean for two quintities to be directly proportional or indirectly proportional?
-- If doubling one quantity causes the other one to also double, the two quantitiesare directly proportional. Their ratio is always the same.-- If doubling one quantity causes the other one to drop by half, the two quantitiesare inversely proportional. Thier product is always the same.
