We can use the formula for slope to find the rate of change:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
In this case, the change in y is the change in cost of broccoli (in dollars per pound), and the change in x is the change in quantity of broccoli (in pounds).
So, slope = (16.50 - 8.25) / (6 - 3)
= 8.25 / 3
= 2.75
Therefore, the rate of change in the purchase price of broccoli is $2.75 per pound.
