Answer:

B)
(1)/(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When y varies directly with x, the relationship is
y=kx where
k is the constant of proportionality. Hence,
k=(y)/(x).

So, your answer would not be correct because you did
(x)/(y) instead of
(y)/(x), so the correct option would be the reciprocal, or
(1)/(3).

Answer:


\bf \sf (1)/(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Take points: (6, 2), (3, 1)


To \ find \ proportionality = \sf (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Insert values


\rightarrow \sf (1-2)/(3-6)

Simplify


\rightarrow \sf (-1)/(-3)

Cancel out the negatives


\rightarrow \sf (1)/(3)
