what is "constant rate of change"
I second that.

a constant rate of change is the m in Y=MxB In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change it can also be called a coefficent

You can determine if a rate of change is constant, by taking the instantaneous rate of change at multiple points - if they are all equal to each other, it can be assumed that the rate of change is constant. Alternatively, you can differentiate the function (if there is an associated function) - if this comes to a constant i.e. a number, then the rate of change is constant.
No. Only a linear function has a constant rate of change.No. Only a linear function has a constant rate of change.No. Only a linear function has a constant rate of change.No. Only a linear function has a constant rate of change.
One definition of the derivative is: "Rate of change". Since a constant is constant, it doesn't change, and the rate at which it changes is zero.
Depending on the situation, a rate of change can be constant (at least over a certain time period), or it may be non-constant.
Constant rate of change is is counting by 10s or and even number
