Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{12}{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

given y is inversely proportional to x, then the equation relating them is

y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of proportionality

to find k , substitute y = 4, x = 3 into the equation

4 = [tex]\frac{k}{3}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 3 )

12 = k

y = [tex]\frac{12}{x}[/tex] ← equation of proportion
