Two quantities are inversely proportional when one is multiplied or divided by any number, the other is divided or multiplied by the same number.

The relation is also commonly denoted as:

y ∝ x−1

The graph of two variables that are inversely proportional is a hyperbola.

Speed and time are inversely proportional because as the speed increases, the time it takes to reach the destination decreases.
