Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y and x are proportional then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion
To find k use the condition y = 4 when x = 12 , then
4 = 12k ( divide both sides by 12 )
k = [tex]\frac{4}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
y = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x ← equation of proportion
