Question 348751
A "direct variation" between x and y means the equation is of the form:
y = kx
where "k" is some number.<br>
In order for the point (6, 2) to be on this line, its coordinates must fit this equation. So:
2 = k*6
Dividing both sides of this by 6 we get:
{{{k = 2/6 = 1/3}}}
So we know that the "k" for this equation must be 1/3. That makes the equation:
{{{y = (1/3)x}}}
