Answer:

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation ( or direct variation) if it can be expressed in the form [tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

we have the point (6,-2)

so

Find the constant of proportionality k

[tex]k=\frac{-2}{6}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]k=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

therefore

The equation of the direct variation is

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]
