How do you determine direct and inverse proportion on graphs?

If the variables x and y are in direct proportion then the graph of y against x is a straight line through the origin. If the variables x and y are in inverse proportion then the graph of y against x is a rectangular hyperbola. Alternatively, the graph of y against 1/x (or 1/y against x) is a straight line through the origin.


What do you know about direct proportion and inverse proportion?

direct proportion: y=kx inverse proportion: y=k/x


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.

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.


How can you tell if a equation is inverse?

Graph that equation. If the graph pass the horizontal line test, it is an inverse equation (because the graph of an inverse function is just a symmetry graph with respect to the line y= x of a graph of a one-to-one function). If it is given f(x) and g(x) as the inverse of f(x), check if g(f(x)) = x and f(g(x)) = x. If you show that g(f(x)) = x and f(g(x)) = x, then g(x) is the inverse of f(x).
