Question

Using your own words, explain direct and inverse proportionality. (Be sure to use complete sentences.)

Answer 1

In an inverse proportion two veriables are inversely proportional to each other.You can write the equation as P=n/x, and N is the constant of proportionality.In the equation the X increases and the P decreases.

Answer 2

Answer:

Whenever we talk about direct or inverse  proportionality  we talk about two variables

Suppose we have two variables x and y  they are said to be in direct proportionality if they one vary same as the other

For eg:

x=3y

Here, whenever x increases y will increase and when x decreases y will decrease.

On the contrary, the two variables when have opposite behaviour

For eg:

x=3/y

Here, whenever x increases y will decrease and when x decreases y will increase.
