If the difference in the value of dependent variables for a function is constantly increasing for each subsequent unit of the independent variable of the function, what kind of function does this represent?

This is a linear function, which by definition has a constant rate of change or "velocity".

y=mx+b is a linear equation, where m is the slope, rate of change, or velocity.

m is a constant.
