The following give a good example of both.
linear variation is the same as direct variation as far as I can tell.
Direct and Inverse Variation Examples and Problems
Direct variation is given by the equation y = k*x
Inverse variation is given by the equation y = k/x
The information in the link is explained very well so I doubt you need more from me.
If you do, just let me know.
