$x/y=c$
here $x$ and $y$ are the variables and $c$ denotes the constant

the variation can be expressed as
$color(red)(x) = c . color(green)(y$

Taking an example:

1) assigning a fixed number to $c$ (as c is constant)
eg: $color(blue)(c = 2$

the variation becomes
$color(red)(x) = color(blue)(2 color(green)(y$

2) assigning values to $y$

There is a direct variation between $y$ and $x$ , as $y$ goes on increasing, so does $x$ .
So basically $x$ varies in the same manner as $y$

Looking at a more practical example.
Distance= (Speed)x(Time)

here as speed increases the distance covered would also be greater.
