Question

If a direct relationship exists between Variable A and Variable B, what would happen to Variable B if Variable A is increased?

Answer 1

try and Google it or ask

Answer 2

Variable B would decrease

Answer 3

@Bballplayer48 ,not necessarily for example if A=-B by increasing A you decrease B.
so it depends on the relationship.

Answer 4

To answer this, let us assume that Variable A = x, and Variable B is equal to, well, y.

Now if we throw in an constant in the equation,

x=ky where k is a random constant.

Let's assume that x = 5, while y = 10. Fair enough?

5/10 = 0.5, the value for k.

Now, let's assume that x increments by 10, and becomes 15.

Now, y would be 15/0.5, or 30.

Regarding the issue of negative integers, if x=5 whilst y=-10, k would be -0.5.
And if x becomes 15, 15/-0.5 = -30.

Eventually, it all boils down to three things.
1) if both variables are homogeneous positive or negative, a change in one will bring about a same change in the other.
2) If one variable differs in sign than the other, the change reflected in another variable will be opposite that of the change in one variable.
