In directly proportional the two variable vary in the same "direction". So, if one increases, the other increases.
In inversely proportional, the two variable vary in opposite "directions". So, if one increases, the other decreases.

Are speed and distance directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Directly proportional. Greater speed - greater distance.
How do you tell if a math table is inversely proportional or directly proportional?
Generally, if y increases as x increases, this is a hint that the quantity is directly proportional, and if y decreases as x increases, the relation might be inversely proportional. However, this is not always the case. x and y are directly proportional if y = kx, where k is a constant. x and y are inversely proportional if y = k/x, k is constant. This is the best way to tell whether the quantities are directly or inversely proportional.
What is inversely and directly proportional?
Two variables, X and Y are said to be in inversely proportional is X*Y - k where k is some non-zero constant. X and Y are said to be directly proportional if X = c*Y where c is some constant.
Inversely Proportional indirect Some things are not always directly proportional. If as one fact increases another number fact decreases at a constant rate then the numbers are said to be inversely pr?
if two same charg are bring to each other in some force they are repell,it is called inversely propotional.it is true or not?give a correect answer
Is variance directly proportional to standard deviation?
Variance isn't directly proportional to standard deviation.
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.
How are current and resistance related are they directly proprtional or inversely proportional?
inversely proportional
Is potential difference directly or inversely proportional to resistance?
Potential Difference (V) across two resistors is directly proportional to the resistance (R) as greater the potential difference, greater is the resistance and vice versa.
Is temperature inversely proportional to concentration of oxygen?
it is directly proportional.
Are speed and distance directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Directly proportional. Greater speed - greater distance.
Is the resistance of the wire directly or inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire?
When it is on the cross-sectional area it is inversely proportional to the wire,otherwise it is directly proportional to the wire.
The statement that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is known as whose law?
The statement current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is known as Ohm's Law.
Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
Which of the three variables that apply to equal amounts of gases are directly proportional Which are inversely proportional?
The following variables are directly proportional: Temperature and Pressure Temperature and Volume These variables are inversely proportional: Pressure and Volume
Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?
No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.
