Detailed explanation-1: -What is directly proportional? Two variables, x and y, are called directly proportional if an increase in x or y causes a corresponding increase in the other variable, i.e. y or x, or a decrease in one variable results in a reduction of the other variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inversely proportional variables or quantities are those in which if one variable increases the other will decrease, and if one variable decreases the other will increase. That means when an increase in one quantity brings a decrease in the other and vice versa then they are said to be inversely proportional.

Detailed explanation-3: -In direct proportion, if one quantity is increased or decreased then the other quantity increases or decreases, respectively. But in indirect or inverse proportion, if one quantity increases then other quantity decreases and vice-versa.

Detailed explanation-4: -When two quantities are directly proportional it means that if one quantity goes up by a certain percentage, the other quantity goes up by the same percentage as well. An example could be as gas prices go up in cost, food prices go up in cost.

Detailed explanation-5: -For example, when you buy more apples, you’ll have to pay more money. Similarly, if we increase the speed of a vehicle, the time that it takes to cover some distance goes down. The first is an example of direct proportionality and the second is an example of quantities that are inversely proportional.
