What is the difference between directly propotional and inversely proportional?

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 temperature inversely proportional to concentration of oxygen?
No, temperature and concentration of oxygen are not inversely proportional. Changes in temperature can affect the solubility of oxygen in water, but the relationship is not strictly inverse. The solubility of oxygen generally decreases with increasing temperature.
Are speed and distance directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Directly proportional. Greater speed - greater distance.
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.

How can you tell the difference between a graph in which one variable is directly proportional to another and a graph in which two variables vary inversely?
1. You can tell the difference because the proportional one has the same slope while the inversely one has opposite reciprocal slope.
Which of the three variables that apply to equal amounts of gases are directly proportional Which are inversely proportional?
Directly proportional: pressure and temperature (Boyle's Law and Charles's Law), inversely proportional: volume and pressure (Boyle's Law), volume and temperature (Charles's Law).
Is accelaration directly proportional or inversely proportional to the force?
Directly. That's why you can't move a car by blowing on it.
Is wavelenght and energy directly proportional to waves?
No, it is inver inversely proportional to waves. :)
Is the volume of a gas directly or inversely proportional to the number of particles in a gas?
Directly proportional, at pressure and temperature constant.
