Direct and Inverse Relationships

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

How can your class determine the relationship between experimental data? Learners discover how to express direct and inverse relationships through examples and sample problems in a video. The narrator takes data from tabular to graphical form, then demonstrates how to create an equation from the data that also shows the relationship.
