Proust's law of constant proportions states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by weight). The ratio does not depend on its source and method of preparation.
proportion
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.
It is the constant of proportionality.
Weber's Law"Ernst Weber noted that for people to really perceive a difference, the stimuli must differ by a constant "proportion" not a constant "amount."

The state of being in proportion.
x and y are in direct proportion if there is some positive constant c such that y = cx

The Circumference of a circle is directly proportional to the diameter. The constant of proportion is 'pi = 3.141592....'. Another one is force is directly proportional to mass. The constyant of proportion is acceleration.
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.
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.
Pi is a constant because it is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and they are always in the exact same proportion.
Yes.
