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.
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.
If the variables are in direct or inverse proportion then yes; otherwise no.

x and y are in direct proportion if there is some positive constant c such that y = cx
It is called direct variation.

Direct proportion, linear, first-order... all of these are valid answers, depending on the particular field you're talking about.
y = kx where k is a non-zero constant is an equation of direct proportionality between x and y.
