Step 1 :Given: $x=6$, $y=12$
Step 2 :Using the formula $y=kx$ for direct variation
Step 3 :Substituting the given values: $12=k(6)$
Step 4 :Solving for $k$ by dividing both sides by 6: $\frac{12}{6}=k$
Step 5 :Simplifying: $2=k$
Step 6 :Therefore, the direct variation equation is $y=2x$
Step 7 :Final Answer: $\boxed{y=2x}$
