Where to base this on?
Hi,
I want to know deductive steps to the use of the 'at' at 'at which' and the 'with' with 'with which'.
The rate at which something happens is the speed with which it happens.
In regard to the use of the 'at' of 'at which', I think it is safe to say that it can be known by the fact we usually use it with the word 'rate' in sentences like 'at the rate of something' but where should we look for the possible precedence of the 'with' in 'with which' for the word 'speed'?

I don't think there are any deductive steps. Different words collocate with different prepositions-- especially when the meaning of the preposition is metaphorical.
