To find the constant of variation, we can use the formula y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
Given that the point (12, 9) is included in the direct variation, we can substitute the values into the equation:
9 = k * 12
Dividing both sides of the equation by 12, we have:
9/12 = k
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
3/4 = k
Therefore, the constant of variation is the fraction three fourths.
