Inverse relationships

An inverse relationship occurs when one variable increases while the other decreases, and vice versa. Think of it like the relationship between the price of a product and the quantity demanded: as the price goes up, people tend to buy less, and when the price goes down, they tend to buy more. Inverse relationships are often represented graphically with a downward slope, showing that as one element changes in one direction, the other changes in the opposite direction. This concept is common in economics, science, and various fields where two factors interact.
