Explanatory Answer:
The given values of x = -27 and y = 3 do not represent a direct variation relationship. In a direct variation, if x and y are related, then their values must be proportional to each other, i.e., as one variable increases or decreases, the other variable must increase or decrease proportionally.
However, in this case, if we calculate the ratio of y to x, we get:
y/x = 3/-27 = -1/9
This value is not constant, which means that y and x are not proportional to each other, and therefore, they do not have a direct variation relationship.
