To find the constant of proportionality between the two points \((0, 0)\) and \((4, 1)\), we can use the formula for the constant of proportionality \(k\) in the context of a linear relationship defined by \(y = kx\).
We can find \(k\) using the coordinates of the second point \((4, 1)\):
\[ k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{1}{4} \]
So, the constant of proportionality is \(\frac{1}{4}\).
Therefore, the answer is:
