ANSWER

[tex]yes \: \: k = \frac{1}{3} \: \: \: y = \frac{1}{3} x[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given line passes through the origin, hence it has equation of the form,

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

Therefore y varies directly as x.

The line passes through the point (3,1)

This implies that,

[tex]1= k(3)[/tex]

[tex]k= \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Hence the constant of variation is

[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

The equation is

[tex]y = \frac{1}{3} x[/tex]
