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 diver’s elevation? (1 point) the graph starts in the upper left corner at zero and goes down as a straight line diagonally to -110 (The top part called minutes goes to 6)
The rate of change in the diver's elevation can be calculated by determining the change in elevation divided by the change in time.
Let's select two points on the graph:
Point 1: (0 minutes, 0 elevation)
Point 2: (6 minutes, -110 elevation)
Change in elevation = -110 - 0 = -110
Change in time = 6 - 0 = 6
Rate of change = Change in elevation / Change in time
Rate of change = -110 / 6 = -18.33
Therefore, the rate of change in the diver's elevation is approximately -18.33 units per minute.
