if it's 12*x = (3/2)*y
then
12*x = (3*y)/2
which becomes
12*x*2 = 3*y
which becomes
(12*x*2)/3) =y
which becomes
24*x/3 = y
which becomes
8*x = y
graph of this equation would look like this:

if it's 12*x = 3/(2*y)
then
12*x * 2 * y = 3
which becomes
2*y = 3/(12*x)
which becomes
y = (3/(12*x))/2
which becomes
3/(12*x*2)
which becomes 3/(24*x)
graph of this equation would look like this:
