INDIRECT: The mathematical notion that two variables change in the opposite directions, that is, an increase in X goes with a decrease in Y, or a decrease in X goes with an increase in Y.

Indirect relations are graphically illustrated by negatively-sloped curves, a common example being the demand curve.
