Answers:

a) Rate of change = -0.006

b) The rate of change shows that every time we add 1 meter to the altitude, the temperature will decrease 0.006 °C

c) Range = [13, 25]

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate change between two points can be calculated as:


\text{rate}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the endpoints. So replacing (x1, y1) by (200, 25) and (x2, y2) by (2200, 13), we get:


\text{rate}=(13-25)/(2200-200)=(-12)/(2000)=-0.006

So, the rate of change is -0.006

The rate of change shows that every time we add 1 meter to the altitude, the temperature will decrease 0.006 °C

Finally, the range of the graph is the set of all possible values that the temperature can take. So, the range is the set of numbers between 13 and 25°C
