The direct variation equation that is satisfied by this ordered pair is y = 6/5x

In order to find this, we start with the base equation for direct variation. We then plug in and solve for k.

y = kx

6 = k5

6/5 = k

And now we can use that to model all future direct variations with this.

y = 6/5x
