[Animal]

Proportional?

[OnTheOverrun]

Directly proportional as opposed to inversely proportional?

[ShadownINja]

Increase proportionally?

Edit: damn, beaten. Maybe if I'm lucky PH will do it's weird listing thing and put my post in front.

Directly proportional

This would be my answer too.

[308mate]

Two values can correlate without being directly proportionate though, cant they?

I would have said linear might be a better word too...hmmm.

This needs a final word from an expert.

[Chill Winston]

Positive correlation isn't it?

CRAP!

Edit for actual factual content: Doesn't "Exponential" also satisfy the above?

It isn't correlation.

directly proportional, exponential and inversely proportional all correlate. That just means they relate to each other. It is a nothing term.

It is directly proportional.

No as an exponential can also be a positive correlation.

The angle of the dangle is directly proportionate to the heat of the beat when the throb of the knob is constant.

Fair enough. Although GCSE B grade is as far as my maths goes

Im going with linear.

Correlation is really just a fancy word for a form of "relationship" between two values.

Yes it is linear, but linear could also mean that as one thing happens nothing changes with the other thing.

It is a linear graph and the relationship is directly proportional in a positive direction.

IE As on thing increases the other thing increases at an even rate.
