By definition two quantities are proportional of each other if it can be express like:


y=kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

Now, by definition a line is a set of points that have the same rate of change between them, no matter which points we take.

Thus we can argue that a line always have a constant rate but they don't necessarily represent proportional quantities.
