Answer 2

- 3000 feets

Explanation:

Given that:

Elevation at the summit of Mount Washington = 6288 ft

Elevation of Carter Notch Hut = 3,288 feets

The change of elevation in feets on the hike from summit to Carter Not hut:

Difference in elevation:

Summit at Mount Washington - Carter notch hut

6288 ft - 3288 ft

Change in elevation. = 3000 fts

Since the change decreased from 6288 to 3288, the elevation is downward and hence, negative = - 3000 feets
