<P> The concept of inverse proportionality can be contrasted with direct proportionality . Consider two variables said to be `` inversely proportional '' to each other . If all other variables are held constant , the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases , while their product ( the constant of proportionality k ) is always the same . </P>
