Inverse relationship

From Free net encyclopedia

A negative, or inverse relationship is a mathematical relationship in which one variable decreases as another rises.

For example, there is an inverse relationship between education and unemployment. That is to say that as public education increases, the rate of unemployment decreases.

Contrast with direct relationship.
