What is the difference between directly proportional and inversely proportional?
DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL: Any situation involving equivalent ratios and rates, in a table of values, the numbers in the first row and second row form sequences of proportional numbers. When represented in a graph, the line is straight and passes directly through the orgin. INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL: The product of the independent variable and the dependent variable remains constant. It is represented graphically by a curve that gradually approaches the axes but never touches it.
