What is the different between a graph representing data that is directly proportional and a graph that is inversely proportional

A graph depicting a direct relation is a straight line and usually has positive slope. An inverse relation is a curve, typically concave up with negative slope.

In a Directly proportional graph, a straight line will be observed between two variables and inversely proportional graph no straight line will be observed between two variables.

The direct proportion is accounted for when two variables are directly associated with each other.
When the magnitude of one variable is increased another variable's magnitude also increases automatically or vice versa.
[tex]X\propto Y[/tex]
In a directly proportional graph, the X vs Y graph will give a straight line.
The inverse proportion is accounted for when two variables are inversely associated with each other.
When the magnitude of one variable is increased another variable's magnitude decreases automatically or vice versa.
[tex]X\propto \frac{1}{Y}[/tex]
In the inversely proportional graph, the X vs (1/Y) graph will give a straight line. Whereas X vs Y graph will not give a straight line.

So, from this, we can conclude that in a :

Directly proportional graph, a straight line will be observed between two variables, and inversely proportional graph no straight line will be observed between two variables.
