Answer:

The constant of proportionality k = 12

Hence, option A is true.

Explanation:

We know that when 'y' varies directly with 'x', we get

y ∝ x

y = kx

Where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality.

In our case,

The given equation is

y = 12x

comparing with the equation y = kx, we can say

k = 12 which is the constant of proportionality.

Therefore, we conclude that:

The constant of proportionality k = 12

Hence, option A is true.
