Answer

\begin{align*} \text{$y$ varies directly with $x$} \\ \text{constant of variation: } \dfrac{7}{4} \end{align*}

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality, the given equation, $ 4y-7x=0 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} 4y&=7x \\\\ \dfrac{4y}{4}&=\dfrac{7x}{4} \\\\ y&=\dfrac{7}{4}x \end{align*} Since the equation above takes the form of $y=kx$ or the direct variation model where $k$ is the constant of variation, then \begin{align*} \text{$y$ varies directly with $x$} \\ \text{constant of variation: } \dfrac{7}{4} \end{align*}
