A graphical example would be nice, perhaps a graph of f(x)=1/x (xy=1)? That Jason 06:49, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just added an expanded example to the second paragraph. I also have a graphic of two pyramids with one inverted that is NOT the Star of David where the two pyramids are overlayed and the bottom of each is touching the top of each. How do I upload a graphic to Wikipedia to be placed within the public domain? Or, if someone else has a similar graphic perhaps you could just do it? Thanks! -- PiPhD 00:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I, and quite a few physics teachers disagree with the given example and definition. It is our firm belief that an "inverse relation" must produce a hyperbolic graph such as is produced by. Y~k/x

Not sure how or where to make this correction but it is my understanding that corrections of this nature are the advertised strength of wikipeadia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.21.97.21 (talk) 13:06, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It depends entirely on whether you're talking about a linear inverse relationship or a non-linear inverse relationship... AnonMoos (talk) 19:22, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
