A rate of change in a variable Y, if not further qualified, is the change in Y for a unit change in time.
However, the rate of change may be defined in terms of a unit change in some other variable (X).
In graphical terms, the rate of change for a straight line is its gradient whereas for a curve, the rate of change at a point is the gradient of the tangent to the curve (if a tangent can be defined).

The rate of changing the interval of 25 is 19.5. This is a math problem.
What does vary mean in math?
"Vary" means "change".
What is the rate in math?
The rate, or rate of change is like an average all except it has to do with the slope of a line instead of a group of numbers. Finding the rate of change is like finding an average except you use the points on the graph instead of numbers in a group.
