Answer 1

Not a direct variation

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

Sorry for the mistake.

The equation -12x = 6y represents a direct variation.

To find the constant of variation, we need to divide both sides of the equation by the variable that is not multiplied by a constant. In this case, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate y:

-12x/6 = 6y/6
-2x = y

So the constant of variation is 2.
