Functions like this are called Lipschitz. The definition works for maps between any two metric spaces. There is also the notion of being coarse lipschitz:
If you have a function $f : X to Y$ between two metric spaces, and constants $K geq 1$ and $C geq 0$, then $f$ is $(K,C)$--coarse lipschitz if
$d_Y(f(x),f(y)) leq K d_X(x,y) + C$ for any $x$ and $y$ in $X$.
