The correct answer is A.
You have direct variation if x and y are modeled by the equation
In this case, m is the constant of proportionality. So, if the constant has to be 2, the equation becomes
A side note: Actually, option C has a constant of proportionality of two as well, except the roles of x and y are interchanged. I chose option A because usually you want the y = mx form, but the names of the variables are obviously meaningless.
<h3>Answer:

The -3 is not in the exponent
Explanation:
The parent function is . Plugging in x = 0 leads to y = 1. So the point (0,1) is on the f(x) curve. Going from (0,1) to (0,-2) is a vertical shift of 3 units downward. To represent this shift, we tack on a "-3" at the end of the f(x) function.
You could look at other points as well, but I find working with x = 0 is easiest.
As a check, plugging x = 0 into g(x) leads to...
This confirms our answer.
