Question: What is meant by Varies Directly As ?

Answer:

When two variables such as x and y are related by an equation of the form y = kx. where k is a constant, then y varies directly as x.

For example,
when a golf ball is dropped from a height x onto a hard surface it will bounce to a height y and where y = kx. This shows on a graph as a straight line through the origin.
