Answer
In an inverse variation, the values move in opposite directions. So, as one increases, the other decreases.
Work Step by Step
When two positive values $𝑥$ and $𝑦$ are related by inverse variation, they do not increase or decrease together. Instead, they move in opposite directions to keep the product $𝑥 \cdot 𝑦$ constant, this means that as one value increases, the other must decrease, and vice versa.
