Answer:

y = 5x

Explanation:

Assuming you require the proportional equation

Given that y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when y = 30, x = 6 , then

30 = 6k ( divide both sides by 6 )

5 = k

y = 5x ← equation of proportion
