Direct And Inverse Relationships

DIRECT and INVERSE RELATIONSHIPS
  • Direct relationship: A direct relationship means that both variables increase together or both decrease together. In a direct relationship, Y increases when X increases. On a graph, a direct relationship always has a positive slope.
  • Inverse relationship: An inverse relationship means that the variables change in opposite directions: one increases while the other decreases, and vice versa. In an inverse relationship, Y decreases when X increases. On a graph, an inverse relationship always has a negative slope.
