Convenient notation for "is linearly proportional to"

Is there a convenient notation for "$A$ is linearly proportional to $B$"? I know that you could write something like $$\exists k,c\in \mathbb R : A = kB+c$$ but I'm thinking something along the lines of $A \sim B$ or $A \propto B$. I just want something that I can write quickly many times. I'm working with a model that has a lot of relationships like this, so it would be convenient to have this kind of notation.

Thanks.

I don't think there is a universally accepted notional for "affine proportionality". See this question for a duplicate. Of course, in any given paper you can introduce a notation, so long as you define it clearly. – lulu Jun 27 '22 at 11:20
Thanks lulu, I was trying to find a duplicate question but didn't see that one. – Matti P. Jun 27 '22 at 11:26

Does this answer your question? Notation to express affine relationship – Travis Willse Jun 27 '22 at 13:26
