It enables you to show a relationship where an increase in one variable results in a decrease in the other.
When one variable is said to be dependent on another, it means that the value of the dependent variable is influenced or determined by changes in the other variable, known as the independent variable. For example, in a relationship where an increase in temperature (independent variable) leads to an increase in ice cream sales (dependent variable), ice cream sales vary based on the temperature. This relationship highlights causation or correlation between the two variables.
In an inverse relationship, when one variable decreases, the other increases. This means that as one variable moves in one direction, the other moves in the opposite direction. For example, in the case of supply and demand, if the price of a product decreases, the quantity demanded may increase, illustrating this inverse relationship.
Direct proportionality refers to a relationship between two variables where an increase in one variable results in a proportional increase in the other variable, and vice versa. Mathematically, this can be expressed as ( y = kx ), where ( k ) is a constant of proportionality. In this relationship, the ratio of the two variables remains constant, meaning that if one variable doubles, the other also doubles. This concept is commonly seen in physics and economics, among other fields.

decreases
A dependent variable increases when an independent variable increases in a direct relationship. This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.
The other can increase, decrease or stay the same. It depends on the relationship between the two variables.

A negative correlation is a measure of the linear component of a relationship where one variable increase as the other decrease.
One variable can affect another through a causal relationship, meaning changes in one variable directly cause changes in the other. This relationship can be positive (both variables increase or decrease together) or negative (one variable increases while the other decreases). The strength and direction of this effect can be quantified through statistical analysis.
An inversely proportional relationship shows that as one variable of an equation increases, the other will decrease. A directly proportional relationship shows that as one variable increases, the other increases as well.
