The second situation describes a directly proportional relationship.

Isabelle Rangel · Answer 2

''As your velocity increases, your distance also increases'' This situation describes a directly proportional relationship.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Directly proportional relationship occurs when one variables increases, the other variable also increases. Velocity is usually defined in terms of distance and time.

Whatever the speed may be as the velocity increases, the distance increases consequently and time also increases since velocity is a ratio of distance and time. Option A and D are irrelevant as they are the examples of inverse proportion.
