Answer:

No. It is an inverse variation.

Explanation:

6= xy

Making y the subject of formula:


y = (6)/(x)

For a direct variation, the equation would be in the form of y=kx, where k is a constant.

However, the equation above is in the form of
y = (k)/(x).

Thus, 6=xy does not show direct variation.
