proportion
It is the constant of proportionality.
Two variables, X and Y, are said to be in direct proportion if X/Y is a constant. Equivalently, Y = cX for some constant c.
No, a direct proportion does not have to have a slope of 1. A direct proportion means that two quantities increase or decrease together at a constant ratio, which can be represented by the equation (y = kx), where (k) is a constant. The slope of the line in a graph of a direct proportion is equal to this constant (k); if (k) is greater than 1 or less than 1, the slope will reflect that but still indicate a direct relationship.
Direct Proportion
If two variables are in direct relationship then the ratio of the two variables is known as the constant of proportion between them. In algebraic form, if X and Y are the two variables, then direct proportionality implies that Y = cX and c is the constant of proportionality.

Direct Proportion
To determine if a proportion is direct or indirect, examine how the two quantities change in relation to each other. In a direct proportion, as one quantity increases, the other also increases (or decreases together), maintaining a constant ratio. In contrast, in an indirect (or inverse) proportion, as one quantity increases, the other decreases, resulting in a constant product. Analyzing this relationship helps classify the type of proportion.
