The linear function has the form y=mx+b, which I expect you have heard of. The 'b' is the y-intercept, and the 'm' is the slope.
A constant of proportionality is something you have with direct variation, which is where the line goes through (0,0). This happens when 'b' equals zero.
So now the equation is just y=mx, and the constant of proportionality is 'm'.

How do you find constant in math?
The answer depends on what the constant is: the y-intercept in a linear graph, constant of proportionality, constant of integration, physical [universal] constant.
What is the rate of change of a linear function?
It will just be the gradient of the function, which should be constant in a linear function.
How do you find constant of proportionality using equation?
If the equation is y = kx then the constant of proportionality is k.
What linear functions are non inverse function?
x = constant.
The rate of change of any linear function is constant?
Yes.
Is the circumference of a circle a linear function of its radius?
Yes.You could also state that the circumference is directly proportional to the radius. The proportionality constant is (2 pi).

What is the relationship in which the ratio of the manipulated variable an the responding variable are constant?
It is a direct [linear] proportionality.
What is the linear equation used to represent a proportion?
y = cx where c is the constant of proportionality.
What is the ratio of 2 corresponding linear measurements in a pair of similar figures?
The constant of proportionality or scale factor.
What is the proportionality constant?

How do you describe the function y equals 5x?
It is a linear function passing through the origin. It represents a direct proportionality between x and y.
Is distance a function of time?
Definitely. Distance is directly proportional to time, and the proportionality constant is called "speed".
