Ifound this on google “that means that the graph of a function with direct variation has these features: it is a straight line: because the slope is the ratio y/x = k. it passes through the origin (0,0): because y = kx = k (0) = 0.” i hope this you for what your looking for

Using the rise/run rule. you would get 2/6.simp. 1/3
