To find the rate of change in the diver's elevation between two points on the graph, you need to calculate the slope of the line connecting those two points.
Let's take two points on the graph:
Point 1: (5 minutes, 30 feet)
Point 2: (15 minutes, 50 feet)
Now, you can calculate the rate of change in the diver's elevation by finding the slope of the line connecting these two points:
Rate of change = (change in elevation) / (change in time)
Rate of change = (50 feet - 30 feet) / (15 minutes - 5 minutes)
Rate of change = 20 feet / 10 minutes
Rate of change = 2 feet per minute
Therefore, the rate of change in the diver's elevation between the points (5 minutes, 30 feet) and (15 minutes, 50 feet) is 2 feet per minute.
the graph shows the elevation of a deep-sea diver in relation to minutes passed. Using any two points on the graph, what is the rate of change in the divers elevation?
_ feet per minute
