Answer:

B

Explanation:

The equation representing direct variation is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

The equation representing inverse variation is

y =
(k)/(x) ← k is the constant of variation

Given

- 4x + y = 0 ( add 4x to both sides )

y = 4x ← equation representing direct variation

with k = 4
