Answer:

[tex]-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When variable y is said to be proportional to another variable x, it is written as:

[tex]y \propto x[/tex]

To introduce the equality sign, we introduce what is called the constant of proportionality, say k and write the above as:

y=kx

Comparing the given equation:

[tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}x[/tex]

We can see that our constant of proportionality:

[tex]k=-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
