Answer :

Answer:

Yes, [tex]k=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line passes through the origin.

It has equation of the form y=kx.

Hence it is a direct variation.

The line passes through(2,-1).

This implies that;

[tex]-1=2k\implies k=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The equation of variation is

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}x[/tex]
