Question

This is for my math class

Answer 1

It would be -25 feet because of how the altitude changes with her time

Answer 2

-25 feet

Explanation:

We know that the change in altitude for the air balloon is -1500 feet, all within a span of 60 minutes, which then we are asked what is the rate of change.

To find the rate of change, we have to be able to divide a number by both sides that will not give us a decimal or very odd number. To avoid getting a decimal, divide both sides by 60.

-1500/60 = -25

60/60 = 1

So the rate of change would be -25 feet
