America Coleman · Answer 1

y=2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is such that y=kx where k is the rate of change. In direct variation the graph must cross the origin (0,0) meaning that the y-intercept is zero. The only equation that satisfies the definition of direct variation is y=2x.
