• Direct proportion means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. Indirect proportion means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

• Direct proportion means that as one variable increases, the other variable remains constant. Indirect proportion means that as one variable increases, the other variable also remains constant.

• Direct proportion means that as one variable decreases, the other variable also decreases. Indirect proportion means that as one variable decreases, the other variable increases.
