Explanation:
#"let f represent free throws and h hours practiced"#
#"the statement is "fproph#
#"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"#
#"of variation"#
#f=kh#
#"to find k use the given condition"#
#h=6" and "f=9#
#f=khrArrk=f/h=9/6=3/2=1.5#
#"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(f=1.5h)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
