Answer:

4 is not the constant. 2 is.

Explanation:

In the following equation: y = 4x + 2

x and y are variables. x can be any given number, and y would be the resulting answer.

4 is not the constant, because the product it will produce varies on what x will be.

2 is a constant, because it will not change regardless what is put into x. It will continue to stay as 2.
