To find the derivative \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) of the function \(y = 6x\), we apply the basic rule of differentiation for a linear function. The derivative of \(ax\) with respect to \(x\) is simply \(a\).
Step 1: Define the Function
We start with the function given by \( y = 6x \).
Step 2: Differentiate the Function
To find the derivative \(\frac{d y}{d x}\), we apply the differentiation rule for linear functions. The derivative of \( y = 6x \) is calculated as follows:
\[
\frac{d y}{d x} = 6
\]
