Answer
The rate of change is found by finding the change in y over the change in x, in this case the change in the height of the water over the number of marbles being added. This is shown by the equation $ \frac{7.5-6.9}{5-3} $. This result gives us a value of 0.3. Due to a constant rate of change, it is important to know in application that this means each marble will add the same amount of height to the water in the glass.
