What is indirectly proportional?
"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.
How do you find the value of a variable of a proportional ratio?
Cross multiply then solve for the variable.
How can you tell if one variable is inversely proportional to another variable?
if one goes up as the other goes down (or vice versa) they are inversely proportional
Example of inverse proportion?
Example of inverse proportion is: Density = Mass/Volume Because the formula represents that the density is directly proportional to the mass while density is inversely proportional to volume. Remember that inversely proportional means that if variable A increases, the variable B decreases, and if variable B increases, the variable A decreases.
A straight line on a graph means there is a what relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable?
Proportional. linear
