Hi how would you solve this problem to find the rate of change?

$6$ donuts cost $7$ dollars and $10$ donuts cost $10$ dollars.

    :( I really have no idea what the question is asking. Please add more context so your questions can be understood and therefore answerable. – 2017-01-06

    Thats the only words it says. It says find the slope of 6 donuts that cost $7 and 10 donuts that cost $10.. – 2017-01-06

    Thus you are directly asking us to basically solve one of your homework questions just because you don't want to? That is not how this site works. – 2017-01-06

    I was going to say something useful, but with your comment above, I see that you already know that "rate of change" and "slope" are really the same concepts. – 2017-01-06

    If you don't understand the fundamentals of these questions, you should either ask the teacher, or ask about the fundamentals themselves. We answer within certain context, not including the scenario that we need to teach you something from the ground up. – 2017-01-06

This question can be rephrased: Find the slope of the line passing through the points (6 donuts, \$7) and (10 donuts, \$10).

Which you then solve this formula for $m$:

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