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.
Are speed and distance directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Directly proportional. Greater speed - greater distance.
Is it true that the graph of a proportional relationship does not include the origin?
It is true in the case of inversely proportional relationship.
Is Inversely proportional a mathematical term meaning reciprocal?
Yes
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.
