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

How do you determine if a rate of change is constant?
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.
The rate of change of any nonlinear function 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.
Why a constant's derivative is always zero?
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.
Is rate of change always constant?
Depending on the situation, a rate of change can be constant (at least over a certain time period), or it may be non-constant.
What is a constent rate of change?
Constant rate of change is is counting by 10s or and even number

What is a rate that doesnt change?
A constant rate!
Are rates of change always constant?
If I understand correctly your question, the answer is definitely no.Think about the typical physical representation of the concept of "rate of change": the velocity is the rate of change of position, right? And there's no difficulty in imagining a non-constant velocity, as when you accelerate or decelerate..
What is the relationship between unit rates slopes and constant rate of change?
Unit rate, slope, and rate of change are different names for the same thing. Unit rates and slopes (if they are constant) are the same thing as a constant rate of change.
Why a constant's derivative is always zero?
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.
What is the rate of change in a fraction?
A fraction is a numerical constant. Being a fraction does not alter that. And, as a constant, its rate of change is precisely zero.
How to find the constant rate of change?
To find the constant rate of change is by taking the final minus initial over the initial.
How do you know if a function has a constant or variable rate of change?
If the graph is a non-vertical straight line, then the rate of change is constant. If the line is curved, then the rate of change (slope) varies.
Is rate of change always constant?
Depending on the situation, a rate of change can be constant (at least over a certain time period), or it may be non-constant.
What is the constant rate of change in y with respect to the constant change in x?
A linear relationship.
Why does a constant have a slope of 0?
"Slope" can be thought of as rate of change - and a constant doesn't change.
