    Yes, there is.

    Just divide 3 to both sides:

    y = (1/2 / 3) x

    Find the reciprocal of 3 and multiply:

    y = (1/2 * 1/3) x

    Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

    y = 1/6x

    So the constant of proportionality is 1/6.

    A direct proportion is any equation where y = mx+b. (i. e., a linear equation)

    Each side of 3y = 1/2x can be divided by 3 to get y = 1/6x, satisfying the condition of y = mx+b. (b=0)

    In this case, the constant of proportionality would be 1/6.
