Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is :
x = 6y ...(1)
Here,
x and y are variables and 6 is a constant number
It means,
x and y are related directly to each other i.e.
x ∝ y
or
x = ky .....(2)
Comparing equation (1) and (2)
k = 6
Hence, yes they are in direct proportion and the value of constant of proportionality is 6.
