XLX_L rises linearly with frequency while XCX_C falls as 1/f1/f; they cross at the resonant frequency.

Inductive reactance is XL=ωL=2πfLX_L = \omega L = 2\pi f L, which increases linearly with frequency ff — on a graph of reactance vs frequency, XLX_L is a straight line of slope 2πL2\pi L passing through the origin.

Capacitive reactance is XC=1ωC=12πfCX_C = \dfrac{1}{\omega C} = \dfrac{1}{2\pi f C}, which decreases as frequency increases — it is a rectangular-hyperbola-shaped curve that falls steeply at low ff and approaches zero as f→∞f\to\infty.
