Answer:


k=(4)/(7)

Explanation:

The equation
y=kx represents a proportional relationship that always passes through the origin. Excluding of the origin, you can plug any
(x,y) coordinate into this function to get
k.

Using the first coordinate, we have:


4=k(7),\\k=(4)/(7)

Verify that
y=kx works for the other coordinates
\checkmark

Thus, the value of constant
k is
\fbox{$(4)/(7)$}.
