Yes. They are inversely proportional. The proportion y ∝ 1/x, means xy=K, where K is the constant.

What is Proportional relationship of two numbers or things being measured?
Two numbers or variables are directly proportional if their ratio is constant. Put another way, two numbers or variables are directly proportional if one of them is a constant multiple of the other. a is proportional to b ( a ∝ b ) if a/b= constant or equivalently a=b x (constant) When to numbers or variables are directly proportional, if one doubles the other doubles, if one is halved the other is halved, etc.
What are the two way to determine if the relationship between two quantities are proportional?
Graphical: If two variables are proportional, the graph of one of the variables against the other is a straight line through the origin.Algebraic: If the ratio of the two variables is a constant.
Definition of directly proportional?
Where one variable is always the product of the other and a constant.
A term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose product is constant?
The relationship between two variables whose ration is a constant value is a directly proportional relationship. An example of this is the ideal gas law, PV = nRT. Pressure and volume are directly proportional to the number of molecules of an ideal gas present ad the temperature.
Are constant variables and derived variables the same?
Constant variables are constant, they do not change. Derived variables are not constant. They are determined by the other values in the equation.
When a graph of two variables is a straight line passing through the origin the variables are said to be to each other?
It means that they are directly proportional to each other. As one variable increases, the other variable increases/decreases at a constant rate. The constant rate is determined by the gradiant of the straight line.
In winter what increases in solubility?
nothing, solubility [of all molecules] is linearly proportional to temperature if all other variables such as concentration etc remain constant.
What is the difference between directly propotional and inversely proportional?
In directly proportional the two variable vary in the same "direction". So, if one increases, the other increases.In inversely proportional, the two variable vary in opposite "directions". So, if one increases, the other decreases.
What is the princple of isaac newtons law of gravity?
The principle of Newton's Gravity is that all matter attracts other matter and the strength of the attraction is proportional to the product of the matter and inverse to the separation of the matter. The Constant G is the proportional constant.
A sentence with proportional?
Two quantities are said to be proportional if they vary in such a way that one of the quantities is a constant multiple of the other, or equivalently if they have a constant ratio.
What is true about ratios for proportional relationships that is not true about ratios for other relationships?
For proportional relationships the ratio is a constant.
What is a proportional ratio?
In mathematics, two quantities are proportional if they vary in such a way that one of them is a constant multiple of the other.
