Answer:

y = -12x

Explanation:

We assume you're concerned with the form ...

y = kx

Putting -12 for k gives ...

y = -12x . . . . . the first choice

_____

Additional comment

The answer will depend somewhat on the context of the question. If you're studying proportions, then "k" is the constant of proportionality as shown above.

If you're studying function translations, then "k" is the vertical translation, as in ...

y = m(x -h) +k

In this case, the equation y = x -12 will have a "k" value of -12.
