Answer:

In an inverse relationship when one variable increases the other decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an inverse relationship when one variable increases the other decreases; when one variable decreases the other increases. For example, the quantity of people needed to paint a wall: If 3 people spend 6 days painting the wall, 6 people (the double) will spend less time, in this case the half, 3 days. It can be concluded that more people will spend less time, and fewer people will spend more time.
