Yes, temperature and kinetic energy are always equal except when going through a phase change, during which temperature stays the same, potential energy increases, and bonds are made/broken.
In the case of gas, kinetic energy is equal to temperature unless condensing or depositing.

The pressure of an ideal gas is indirectly proportional to?
Other things being equal, it is directly proportional to the temperature. It is also directly proportional to the amount of gas.Other things being equal, it is directly proportional to the temperature.

Why is density inversely proportional to temperature?
Density is inversely proportional to volume. If the same amount of stuff takes up a larger volume, it will have a lower density. 1 kg of air is slightly below one cubic meter, but 1 kg of water is about the size of your milk carton. As the temperature of an object increases, it's volume increases. This means that temperature is directly proportional to volume. Since temperature is directly proportional to volume, and volume is inversely proportional to density, thus density is inversely proportional to temperature. In the physical sense, you can visualize temperature as the energy (spacing) between particles and density as how much particles you can put in a box. As temperature goes up, the spacing of particles increase. Therefore, you cant put so much particles into the same sized box.
Which of the three variables that apply to equal amounts of gases are directly proportional Which are inversely proportional?
The following variables are directly proportional: Temperature and Pressure Temperature and Volume These variables are inversely proportional: Pressure and Volume
Is resistance inversely or directly proportional to temperature?
Directly proportional. As temperature goes up, so does resistance (hence supercomputers being cooled to such low temperatures).
What is the relationship between the density and the specific heat capacity of a pure substance?
Density is directly proportional to the specific heat.
Is the volume of a gas directly or inversely proportional to the number of particles in a gas?
Directly proportional, at pressure and temperature constant.
What increases the temperature of a substance?
The temperature of a substance increases as the mean random kinetic energy of its particles increases. This is because temperature of an object is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of its particles. Thus when the particles move faster as a whole, such as when the object is put near a flame, the object heats up.
When the temperature of a substance decreases increases what happens?

The temperature scale defined so that temperature of a substance is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles and so that zero on the scale corresponds to zero kinetic energy?
This is the thermodinamic scale (Kelvin scale).
Is temperature directly proportional to frequency?
Temperature is only sometimes directly proportional to frequency. Temperature however is not always directly proportional to frequency in all cases.

How is the temperature of a substance affected by a change in the average kinetic energy of its molecules?
Directly proportional-- If average KE increases, temperature increases, and vice versa.
