    Constant Rate of Change Relationship Problem
    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.

    Before we can give our answers, we need to know what you think the answer(s) is.

    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.
