Inverse variation and direct variation

[Girlwhostrugglesinmath]

Can anyone show me how to solve this equation , y divide by 3 = 2 divide by x .
Does it show direct or inverse variation , or neither ?

y/3 = 2/x

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3, to solve for y.

This form is direct variation: y = k*x

This form is inverse variation: y = k/x

where k is some constant number.

What form does your equation (solved for y) look like?
