The constant of proportionality appears at the ratio where the number of people is directly proportional to the number of buses. In other words, if there are 2 buses, there will be twice as many people as if there was 1 bus.
Looking at the data table, we can see that when there are 4 buses, the number of people is 140. This means that the ratio is (140, 4).
Therefore, the answer is (140, 4).
