Who was the king of Babylon in 1792bc?

Answer 1

Hammurabi is the most common answer, however there is some debate over the dates.

There's 4 Different Chronologies that are used for dates prior to around 1000BC, and depending which you're using Hammurabi's Rule dates anywhere from 1654BC to 1848BC.

The timeline known as 'Middle chronology' cites his rule starting in 1792, and this used to be the most popular time scheme until the last decade or so.
New conventions may be placing Hammurabi's rule beginning in 1696BC

The main difference being that middle chronology attempted to match events to the cycle of convergence of Venus, the Sun and the Moon as mentioned in historical documents, the new Ultra-low chronology uses the Fall of Babylon itself correlated to other known timelines and works backwards instead of trying to construct forwards.

So, If your History teacher is asking..probably Hammurabi.
If you really want to know what the historical world believes, it is most likely Sabium at that time.
