The correct answer is:
D) The amount a person pays for gas compared with the number of gallons purchased
Explanation:
A constant rate of change means that for every x, y increases the same amount.
In the situation "The amount a person pays for gas compared with the number of gallons purchased
," the independent quantity, or x-value, is the number of gallons, and the dependent quantity, or y-value, is the amount paid. Since gas has a set price per gallon, for every gallon purchased, the total amount paid goes up the same amount. This means it has a constant rate of change.
