Derivative of constant is always zero

Ask yourself: How fast does a constant rate change?
Since it doesn't, dr/dt would equal 0.

Assuming that "r" stands for rate, then dr/dt = 0 if the rate is constant.

the derivative of any constant is 0.
A derivative is a rate of change
constant = no change = derivative of 0

0 , if the rate is constant , there is no change and since differentiation defines the change and that there is none , it is equal to zero.

if r=constant
dr/dt = d/dt(constant) = 0

Zero

zero because the slope is 0
