To answer your questions regarding the linear graph:
1. **Change in y-values from Point A to Point B:** This is calculated by subtracting the y-value at Point A from the y-value at Point B. If you have the specific y-values for points A and B, simply use the formula:
\[\text{Change in y} = y_B - y_A\]
2. **Change in x-values from Point A to Point B:** This is calculated similarly by subtracting the x-value at Point A from the x-value at Point B. The formula is:
\[\text{Change in x} = x_B - x_A\]
3. **Rate of change of the linear function:** The rate of change (also known as the slope) is calculated by dividing the change in y-values by the change in x-values:
\[\text{Rate of change} = \frac{\text{Change in y}}{\text{Change in x}} \text{ feet per second}\]
If you can provide the specific coordinates for Points A and B from the graph, I can help you find the numerical values for each of these.
