To find the constant of variation, we can use the formula y = kx, where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, and k is the constant of variation.
We are given the point (12, 9), which tells us that when x = 12, y = 9.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
9 = 12k
Simplifying, we have:
k = 9/12
k = 3/4
So, the constant of variation is 3/4.
The point (12,
9) is included in a direct variation. What is the constant of variation?
