To find the constant rate of change, we can calculate the change in distance over the change in time for each pair of hours.
For the pair of hours (2, 4), the change in time is 4 - 2 = 2 hours, and the change in distance is 11 - 5.5 = 5.5 miles.
For the pair of hours (4, 6), the change in time is 6 - 4 = 2 hours, and the change in distance is 16.5 - 11 = 5.5 miles.
For the pair of hours (6, 8), the change in time is 8 - 6 = 2 hours, and the change in distance is 22 - 16.5 = 5.5 miles.
Thus, the constant rate of change is 5.5 miles per 2 hours, or the unit rate is (5.5 miles)/(2 hours).
