A straight line, through the origin, sloping up from left to right. The gradient of the graph will be the constant of proportionality.
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
A coordinate graph is a graph of pairs of numbers that represent real-life situations.
Motion at a constant speed - no acceleration or deceleration.
Constant variation is a relationship between two variables where one is a fixed multiple of the other. The graph of such a relationship is a straight line through the origin.
The answer depends on what the constant is: the y-intercept in a linear graph, constant of proportionality, constant of integration, physical [universal] constant.
Direct proportionality. Their graph would be a straight line through the origin, with the slope equal to the ratio.
The graph of a relationship in which two variables are in direct proportion is a straight line through the origin, whose slope = the rate of change = the constant of proportionality.
In a table, divide a number in one column by the corresponding number in the other column. In a graph it is the gradient of the line. The equation, for the variables X and Y will be of the form Y = mX and the constant of proportionality is m.
A scatter plot will show the data points on a straight line through the origin, whose slope is the constant of proportionality.
A straight line, through the origin, sloping up from left to right. The gradient of the graph will be the constant of proportionality.
If velocity is constant, the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line will represent the constant velocity of the object.

constant speed
y = cx where c is some non-zero constant of proportionality. Equivalently, x = ky where k (= 1/c) is a constant of proportionality. The graph of y against x is a straight line through the origin, with slope c.
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
