Question

What type of relationship occurs when one variable decreases while the other variable increases? a non-linear relationship a direct relationship a positive relationship an inverse relationship

Answer 1

Answer:

inverse relationship

Explanation:

If one variable decreases and the other increases, it means there is an inverse relationship between the variables.

for example, in ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

Where, P is the pressure, V is the volume, R be the gas constant and T be the absolute temperature.

If the temperature is constant, P V = constant

It means that the pressure is inversely  proportional to the volume of the gas.

Answer 2

It is an inverse relationship because in this when you decrease a variable the other one increases.
