Answer

$y=2x$

Work Step by Step

Since $y$ varies directly as $x,$ then it follows the model $y=kx.$ Solving for $k$ by substituting the given point, $ (1,2) ,$ results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} y=kx \\ 2=k(1) \\ 2=k .\end{array} Hence, the direct variation equation is $ y=2x .$ Using a table of values, the graph of $ y=2x $ is shown.
