$y = 5 x$ $y=5x$
here $y and x$ $color(red) (y and x$ are variables and $5$ $color(blue)(5$ is the constant

Let us assume values for $x$ $color(red)(x$ and observe how the values of $x and y$ $x and y$ vary with respect to each other:

$x = 1, y = 5 .1 = 5$ $color(red)(x = 1) , y = color(blue)(5).1 = 5$
$x = 2, y = 5 .2 = 10$ $color(red)(x=2 ), y = color(blue)(5).2 = 10$
$x = 3, y = 5 .3 = 15$ $color(red)(x=3) , y = color(blue)(5).3 = 15$

It can be observed that as $x$ $color(red)(x$ increases in value , so does $y$ $color(red)(y$ and hence the variation is not inverse, it is direct variation.
