Answer:

Direct variation; k = -3; y = -3x  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y = kx     Divide both sides by x

k = y/x

<em>For x = -6, y = 2</em>:

k = -6/2

k = -3

=====

<em>For x = -9, y = 3</em>:

k = -9/3

k = -3

=====

<em>For x = -15, y = 5: </em>

k = -15/5

k = -3

y = -3x

y and x are always in the same ratio, so y varies directly with x.

as you can see above, we can see that "x" can be a product of whatever "y" happens to be, so we know each variable is just a factor away from the other.
