Not a direct variation

Answer 1

Yes, the equation 6y = -12x represents a direct variation.

The constant of variation can be found by dividing the coefficient of x by the coefficient of y. In this case, the coefficient of x is -12 and the coefficient of y is 6.

Constant of variation = -12/6 = -2
