Answer: The statement that is true about her rate of change in elevation is She descended at a rate of 1,447 feet per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the feet above sea level with the feet below sea level

8,560 + 122 = 8,682

now divide the time if took her to drive with the answer above

8,682/6 = 1447
