Answer:

y = 0.75x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k substitute either of the 2 points into the equation

Using (12, 9 ), then

k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{12}[/tex] = 0.75, so

y = 0.75x ← equation of variation
