Question

A bird is flying at an average altitude of 10 meters above the ground. After 3 seconds, it settles on a branch that is 3 meters above the ground. Interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the bird’s altitude. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth and remember that the bird is descending.(1 point)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the bird’s altitude is meters/second.

Answer 1

That Is wrong

Answer 2

It is -2.33 The bird flew down so it is -2.33.

Your welcome in advance ;)

Answer 3

To find the rate of change in the bird's altitude, we can calculate the change in altitude divided by the change in time.
The change in altitude is 10 meters (altitude at the start) - 3 meters (altitude at the end) = 7 meters.
The change in time is 3 seconds.
The quotient that represents the rate of change in the bird's altitude is 7 meters / 3 seconds = 2.33 meters/second.
