Answer:

The rate of change is 25. It means the cost increased by $25 per day.

Explanation:

The given table is

Time (days) Cost ($)

3 75

4 100

5 125

6 150

It means the graph of this constant function passing through the points (3,75) and (4,100).

If a line passing through two points, then the slope of the line is


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


m=(100-75)/(4-3)


m=(25)/(1)


m=25

Therefore the rate of change is 25. It means the cost increased by $25 per day.
