"indirectly proportional" appears to be interchangeable with "inversely proportional."
When a dependent variable is inversely proportional to an independent variable, that means it decreases as the dependent one increases, and vice versa. For example, a Baseball player's batting average is inversely proportional to the number of at-bats. (It's directly proportional to the number of hits he gets.) In other words, as the number of at-bats increases, the player's batting average decreases. Another example is gravitational attraction between two bodies. The gravitational force between two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

What it is inverse and direct proportion?
Direct Proportion means that as one increases, the other also increases.Inverse proportion is the reciprocal of direct proportion. If something is in the direct proportion of 1:3, then the inversion proportion is 3:1.OrIndirect Proportion means that as one increases the other decreases, or one is directly proportional to 1 divided by the other. Example: Pressure is indirectly proportional to volume, or Pressure is directly proportional to 1/Volume.
Is 120-xL proportional or not proportional?
It is an expression, not an equation and so cannot be proportional nor non-proportional.
What is directly and inversely proportional relationship?
Directly proportional relationship is F=ma, F is directly proportional to a. Inversely proportional relationship is v=r/t, v is inversely proportional to t.
What is an antonym for proportional?
Disproportional.If instead you're looking for the antonym of directly proportional, that would be inversely proportional.
Are 16 to 9 proportional?
Your question is incomplete... proportional to WHAT?
Is a wave's frequency is indirectly proportional to the energy applied?
No. Energy content of wave packet is directly proportional to the frequency.
What effects supply and demand?
Fluctuations in the price of goods. The affect of demand on price is directly proportional and supply's affect on price is indirectly proportional.
Is the level of risk indirectly proportional to all three factors of risk?
B. False
What does it mean for two quintities to be directly proportional or indirectly proportional?
Two quantities are directly proportional if an increase in one quantity results in a proportional increase in the other quantity. They are indirectly proportional if an increase in one quantity leads to a proportional decrease in the other quantity.

Trick question. Wavelength is not directly or indirectly proportional to frequency.

The number of times a dog barks is dependent on the number of passing cars How many cars have passed when a dog barks 34 times?
"Dependent" does not say whether the relationship is directly proportional or indirectly proportional; or some other function of the number of cars.
What determines the current of a battery?
its internal resistance V/R= A its internal resistance V/R= A
True or False Is work indirectly proportional to distance applied?
False. Work is directly proportional to the distance applied. The amount of work done increases as the distance over which the force is applied increases.
The electrical resistance of circuit is influenced by three primary factors?
Resistance is directly proportional to the resistivityand length of a material, and inversely-proportional to its cross-sectional area. It should also be noted that its resistivity is affected by temperature, so temperature indirectly affects resistance.
