You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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.
