Answer:

B 5 meters per second

Explanation:

Pick two points on the graph, and find the slope.

For example, you can use the points

(0, 8500) and (1700, 0)

slope = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

slope = (0 - 8500)/(1700 - 0) = -8500/1700 = -5

The slope is negative because the plane was losing altitude as it descended.

It descended at a rate of 5 meters per second.

Answer: B 5 meters per second
