Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = -4 when x = 8, what is the equation of direct variation?Complete the steps to write the equation of direct variation.1. Start with the equation of direct variation y = kx.2. Substitute in the given values for x and y to get3. Solve fork to get4. Write the direct variation equation with the value found for k. The equation is​
