Inverse relationship
In an inverse relationship, one variable decreases while the other increases. As an equation, a basic inverse relationship looks like x = 1/y.

In a directly proportional relationship, as one variable increases, the other variable also increases at a constant rate. In an inverse proportional relationship, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases at a constant rate.
When one variable changes, the other variable moves in the opposite direction.

A negative relationship, also known as an inverse relationship, occurs when one variable decreases while the other variable increases. This means that as one variable changes in one direction, the other variable changes in the opposite direction.
This is called an "inverse" relationship.
If the graph shows a direct relationship, then the line will go up. If it shows an inverse relationship, the line will go down. A direct relationship means that as one variable increases, so does the other. On a graph, this means that as we move out along one axis, we also move out along the other. An inverse relationship means that as one variable increases, the other one decreases. So, for example, as we move to the right (X increasing), we have to move down (Y decreasing).
