The table shows the linear relationship between the elevation in feet of an airplane as it descends and the number of minutes.What is the rate of change of the elevation of the airplane with respect to the number of minutes since the plane started its descent?(1 point)900 ft/min1,200 ft/min1,500 ft/min1,800 ft/min

I don't see the table — can you paste the two (or more) elevation/time pairs shown?
How to find it: pick two points (minutes m1, elevation e1) and (m2, e2). Rate of change = (e2 − e1) / (m2 − m1). Because the plane is descending this will be negative (drop in feet per minute); the choices you gave are magnitudes.
Example: if elevation goes from 36,000 ft at 0 min to 27,000 ft at 6 min, rate = (27,000 − 36,000)/(6 − 0) = −9,000/6 = −1,500 ft/min (magnitude 1,500 ft/min). Provide the table and I’ll compute the exact answer.
