An equation involving derivatives, representing the relationship between a function and its rate of change.

The derivative of the function $y$ with respect to $x$, indicating the instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$.

If $a$ is directly proportional to $b$, then $a = kb$, where $k$ is a constant.

If $a$ is inversely proportional to $b$, then $a = \frac{k}{b}$, where $k$ is a constant.

Typically, $k$ represents the constant of proportionality.

The rate at which a quantity is increasing or decreasing with respect to another quantity, often time.
