The table shows the elevation in feet that a hiker has yet to climb before reaching the peak in terms of the number hours hiked. x= 2| 1,400y= 4| 1,000 in a function for this situation, the rate of change is feet per hour and the peak is at an elevation   feet.

Hence, the rate of change is 200 feet per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a a table that  shows the elevation in feet that a hiker has yet to climb before reaching the peak in terms of the number hours hiked.

x      y

2     1400

4      1000

We know that the rate of change of the situation is defined as the ratio of change in the y-values to the change in the x-values of the table.

Hence, the rate of change is calculated as:

Hence, the rate of change is 200 feet per hour.

all it means is function 3
