Answer
Always True
Work Step by Step
An equation is called a direct variation if it is in the form of $y=kx$, where, $k \ne 0$ is the constant of variation.
The value of the constant of variation is obtained by dividing x:
$k=\frac{y}{x}$
If q varies directly with p, then the equation of the direct variation is
$q=kp$
Thus, the variable p also varies directly with q.
So the statement is always true.
