Answer:

Yes, this equation represents a direct variation equation

constant of variation = 2

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y

y - 6 = 2(x-3)

y - 6 = 2x - 6

y - 6+6 = 2x - 6+6

y + 0 = 2x + 0

y = 2x

The equation is in the form y = kx which fits a direct variation equation. The constant of variation is k = 2.
