Question

luigi0210 · Answer

Direct variation is 
$$\LARGE y=kx$$
You are given $$\LARGE (-6,2)=(x, y)$$
So plug them in: 
$$\LARGE 2=-6k$$

mathmale · Answer

The general formula for "direct variation" is y=kx, where k is a constant of proportionality.

Simply substitute x--6 and y=2 into that equation.
