Compare Rate of Changes

Shawn recently went skydiving for his birthday. The relationship between the time in seconds, x, and his elevation in feet, y, is shown in the table below. Find the rate of change and explain its meaning.

• 12,500; Shawn ascends at a rate of 12,500 feet per second.

• -175; Shawn descends at a rate of 175 feet per second.

• -175; Shawn's initial height is -175 feet.

• 12,500; Shawn's initial height is 12,500 feet.
