The constant is $\frac{4}{3}$ $4/3$ .

Explanation:

In a direct variation equation $y$ $y$ is proportional to $x$ $x$ i.e. $y \propto x$ $ypropx$ i.e. $y = k \times x$ $y=k×x$ , where $k$ $k$ is constant.

In other words $k = \frac{y}{x}$ $k =y/x$

As we have $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{4}{3}$ $y/x=4/3$ ,

The constant is $\frac{4}{3}$ $4/3$ .
