Answer 1

Answer:

1

$from \: the \: question \\ y =k x - - - (i)\\ where \: k \: is \: the \: constant \: of \: proportionality \\ for \: the \: point \: given \\ y = 12 \: and \: x = 4 \\ from \: (i) \\ 12 = (k \times 4) \\ k = \frac{12}{4} \\ k = 3 \\ substitute \: for \: k \: in \: (i) \\ y = 3x$
