Direct Variation is of the form (directly proportional);


\begin{gathered} y\propto x \\ y=kx \end{gathered}

While indirect variation (inversely proportional) is of the form;


\begin{gathered} y\propto(1)/(x) \\ y=(k)/(x) \end{gathered}

So, for each of the given question we want to determine if they are direct or indirect variation;

1.


\begin{gathered} 6x-5y=-4 \\ -5y=-4-6x \\ -5y=-6x-4 \\ y=(-6x-4)/(-5) \\ y=(6)/(5)x+(4)/(5) \end{gathered}

Therefore, this is a Direct variation with proportionality constant;


k=(6)/(5)

2.


\begin{gathered} 2y=14x \\ y=(14x)/(2) \\ y=7x \end{gathered}

Therefore, this is a Direct variation with proportionality constant;


k=7
