Question

What type of relationship occurs when two variables both increase or decrease together? an inverse relationship a positive relationship a direct relationship an inverse relationship

Answer 1

Direct relationship.

Answer 2

Answer: The two variables follow direct relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

• An inverse relationship is defined as the relationship in which one variable increases, then the other variable decreases.

`\text{Variable 1}\propto \frac{1}{\text{Variable 2}}`

One increases, other one decreases and vice versa.

• A direct relationship is defined as the relationship in which if one variable increases, the other variable will also increase and vice-versa.

`\text{Variable 1}\propto {\text{Variable 2}`

One increases, the other one also increases and vice-versa.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is that the two variables follow direct relationship.
