Explanation:
"the initial statement is "ypropx
"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"
"of variation"
rArry=kx
"to find k use the given condition"
y=4" when "x=16
y=kxrArrk=y/x=4/16=1/4
"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=1/4x)color(white)(2/2)|)))
"when "x=6" then "
y=1/4xx6=6/4=3/2
