Given a conditional statement of the form:If "hypothesis" then "conclusion",the inverse is:If "not hypothesis" then "not conclusion".
The statement in which the hypothesis becomes the conclusion and vice-versa is called the Converse.
The symbol for a conditional statement is an arrow pointing to the right, "->". It is used to show that one statement (the conclusion) follows from another statement (the hypothesis).
