Drag the slider to see how increasing one variable decreases the other.
Where do we see inverse relationships in real life?
If you have a fixed distance to drive, going faster means it takes less time to get there.
Squeeze a balloon to make it smaller (less volume), and the air pressure inside increases.
The further you travel away from a planet, the weaker its gravitational pull becomes.
The core facts about inverse relationships.
The Rule: When one variable increases, the other decreases.
The Shape: On a graph, it forms a curve that swoops down towards the axes (a hyperbola).
The Balance: They often multiply to make a constant (e.g., if you double speed, time halves. 2 × 0.5 = 1).
