Write constant_of_proportionality(table). The table is a list of pairs (x, y). Return the constant kk (as a Fraction) if y=kxy = kx for every row, and None otherwise. Rows with x == 0 must have y == 0, and there must be at least one row with x != 0. Use Fraction so that decimals such as \"0.5\" are exact.
