Inverse is the opposite of proportion
The two variables are in inverse proportion and, graphically, will form a hyperbola.

Inverse proportion implies xy = c where c is the constant of [inverse] proportionality. x = 2 and y = 36 implies xy = 72 = c So the relationship is xy = 72 Then, if x = 4, y = 72/x = 72/4 = 18
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.
inversely proportional or inverse proportion
as we know the relation between surface tension and temperature is inverse, and that of temperature and density also has inverse proportion, then it is clear that the '''surface tension is directly proportion to the density'''.
direct proportion: y=kx inverse proportion: y=k/x
when both increaes its direct proportion and when one increase and othe decreases its inverse proportion.
Inverse is the opposite of proportion
The two variables are in inverse proportion and, graphically, will form a hyperbola.
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.
Inverse proportion
Inverse proportion is a mathematical concept and has nothing whatsoever to do with religious concepts such as hell.
The four kinds of proportionality in physics are direct proportionality, inverse proportionality, joint proportionality, and inverse square proportionality. Direct proportionality means that two quantities increase or decrease together. Inverse proportionality means that one quantity increases while the other decreases. Joint proportionality involves three or more quantities varying together. Inverse square proportionality refers to a relationship where one quantity is inversely proportional to the square of another quantity.
It is not possible to answer the question since there is no information as to whether the relationship between x and y is one of direct proportion, inverse proportion or something else.
