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'.
