If y varies inversely as x, find the inverse variation equation for the situation.
-$y = 4$ when $x = 3$
A) $y = \frac { x } { 12 }$
B) $y = \frac { 1 } { 12 x }$
C) $y = \frac { 12 } { x }$
D) $y = \frac { 4 } { 3 } x$

Inverse variation is described by the equation $y = \frac{k}{x}$, where $k$ is a constant. Given $y = 4$ when $x = 3$, we find $k = 4 \times 3 = 12$. Thus, the equation is $y = \frac{12}{x}$.
