Answer:

C) yes, 2

Explanation:

A direct variation means that the graph is a straight line. In this case it is:

Yes, the graph is an example of direct variation.

To find the constant of variation, you can use the formula:

y =
(k)/(x)

Now, substitute the x- and y-variables for a given point:

1 =
(k)/(2)

Finally, solve for k:

1 =
(k)/(2)

k = 2

The constant of variation is 2.
