Question

Across a horizontal distance of 25 feet, a roller coaster has a steep drop. The height of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop is -150 feet, compared to its height at the top of the drop.What is the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot?

Answer 1

-6

Step-by-step explanation: You correctly divided the absolute values, but since you are dividing a negative height by a positive number of horizontal feet, the answer is negative. You still have to use the negative sign in your calculation. -150 is a real number and not to be disregarded....
