Plan of Attack: 1. Plug the given values into the equation y = kx. 2.Solve for k. 3.Then replace k with its value in the equation y = kx. Step-by-Step: Start with our standard equation: y = kx Insert our known values: 8 = k*12 Divide both sides by 12 to find k: 8/12 = k 2/3 = k Next: Go back to y = kx and replace k with 2/3. y = (2/3)x
