Answer:

D)
f(x)=1.5x

Explanation:

Direct variation is the opposite of Proportional Variation. It is given according to this formula:


y=kx

The notation f(x) = y. Since f(x)=y= 6 and x=4 Firstly let's find k. Then plug it back to the original one.

We have:


y=kx\\6=k4\\k=(6)/(4) =k=(3)/(2)\\y=(3)/(2)x \Rightarrow y\approx1.5x
