Answer:

Direct proportion is denoted by the proportional symbol (∝). For example, if two variables x and y are directly proportional to each other, then this statement can be represented as x ∝ y. When we replace the proportionality sign (∝) with an equal sign (=), the equation changes to:

x = k * y or x/y = k, where k is called non-zero constant of proportionality

Direct proportion is the relationship between two variables whose ratio is equal to a constant value. In other words, direct proportion is a situation where an increase in one quantity causes a corresponding increase in the other quantity, or a decrease in one quantity results in a decrease in the other quantity.
