Definition

The constant of proportionality is the constant value that relates two proportional quantities.

Description

The constant of proportionality is a fundamental concept in mathematics, particularly in linear relationships and direct variation. For example, in the equation y = kx, k is the constant of proportionality that relates y and x. This concept is crucial in fields like physics, where it is used to describe relationships such as speed (distance/time).
