An inversely proportional graph is one where the relationship between two variables is such that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases at a constant rate. This relationship is usually represented by a curve that slopes downwards from left to right.

Directly proportional: pressure and temperature (Boyle's Law and Charles's Law), inversely proportional: volume and pressure (Boyle's Law), volume and temperature (Charles's Law).
No, the force between two bodies is not always inversely proportional to their masses. The force of gravity between two objects is actually directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The gravitational force is proportional to the product of the two masses involved and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This relationship is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire. This means that as the cross-sectional area of the wire increases, the resistance decreases, and vice versa.
Acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This means that increasing the force applied will increase the acceleration, while increasing the mass will decrease the acceleration for a given force.
