Answer:
directly proportional-If one value increases then the other value also increases which is proportional to it.
For example:F=ma
If acceleration increases then the force also increases
Inversely proportional-If one value increases then the other value decreases.
Example:C=Q/V
In the above example,If the potential difference decreases then the capacitance increases.

explanation with a formula
pressure = force / area
as force increases pressure also increases (directly proportional)
but as area increases pressure decreases (indirectly proportional)
in a formula if 1 quantity increases if the other also increases it is called directly proportional
in a formula if 1 quantity increases if the other decreases it is called indirectly proportional
