Here are the differences between the graph trends I learned-
• direct- when the x increases, y increases OR when x decreases, y decreases.
•direct proportional- constant rate of change between x and y. The graph is linear, with zero as the y intercept. When x doubles/ triples/ etc, then y doubles/triples/etc.
•indirect- not direct, so when one variable increases, the other decreases.
•inverse proportional- when x is doubled/ tripled/ etc., y is halved/ thirded/ exc. There is no y- intercept. The graph for this trend typically looks like a hyperbola.
•inverse- as x increases, y decreases OR as x decreases, y increases.
To make a trend proportional, the x and y values have to be increasing/ decreasing equally, at the same value.
Can't wait to learn more!!
