inversely proportional quantities [in¦vərs·lē prə¦pȯr·shən·əl ′kwän·əd·ēz]

(mathematics)

Two variable quantities whose product remains constant.

two quantities related in such a way that as one increases (or decreases) severalfold, the other decreases (or increases) by the same factor. The inversely proportional quantities x and y are related by the equation xy = k; that is, x = k/y and y = k/x, where k is a constant.
