Answer:
Rate of Change = -77.9 feet/year
My interpretation: "Is Bad."
Explanation:
The rate of change is the number of feet that Lake Powell dropped, divided by the number of years the drop took place. We want a value with a unit of feet/year.
Year Feet
1999 3893
2005 3425.6
Change
Year = (2005 - 1999) or 6 years
Feet = (3425.6 - 3893) or -467.4 feet
Rate of Change = (-467.4 feet)/(6 years)
Rate of Change = -77.9 feet/year
=======================
FYI: Lake Powell is 22.39 feet lower today (June 23, 2022) than it was 1 year ago.
