$x = 0$ , $y = \frac{2}{3}$

Step 1

When two variable quantities have a constant ratio, their relationship is called a direct variation. It is said that one variable varies directly as the other. The formula for direct variation is $y = k x$ , where $k$ is the constant of variation.

$y = k x$

Step 2

Solve the equation for $k$ , the constant of variation.

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

Step 3

Replace the variables $x$ and $y$ with the actual values.

$k = \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{0}$

Step 4

The expression contains a division by $0$ . The expression is undefined.

Undefined

Step 5

Use the direct variation model to create the equation.

$y = k x$

Step 6

Substitute the value of $k$ into the direct variation model.

Undefined

Step 7

Simplify the result to find the direct variation equation.

Undefined
