Here is my question that needs answered!

If two quantities A and B are in a constant rate of change relationship, which of the following are true statements? Select all that apply.

A. The change of A is always equal to the change of B
B. The change in B is a constant multiple of the change in A
C. Equal changes of A result in consistent changes of B
D. The ratio of the change in B to the change in A is always the same
E. The value of B is a constant multiple of the value of A
F. The change of A is a constant multiple of the value of B

I look forward from hearing responses! Thanks.

Why do you think that... understanding the question is a very important part of the assignment.

I suggest you draw a graph or two of examples of functions that have a constant rate of change relationship. In my day we called these "linear" equations, of the form y=mx+b, where 'm' is a constant that defines the constant rate of change. Then test the 6 statements against your examples. I think you'll find that one of your answers is wrong, and you're missing a couple more.
