Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

We are given an equation as shown below;


2y=3x

Required;

We are required to determine if this is a direct variation or an inverse variation.

Step-by-step solution;

To solve for the variable y,


2y=3x
\begin{gathered} Divide\text{ }both\text{ }sides\text{ }by\text{ }2: \\ (2y)/(2)=(3x)/(2) \end{gathered}
y=(3)/(2)x

ANSWER:

This is a direct variation.

Note that the constant value, 3/2 is the constant of variation.

The third option is the correct answer.
