The graph below shows the height through which an elevator travels, y, in x seconds: A graph is shown with x axis title as Time
in seconds. The title on the y-axis is Height of Elevator Above Ground in feet. The values on the x-axis are from 0 to 5 in increments of 1 for each grid line. The values on the y-axis are from 0 to 50 in increments of 10 for each grid line. A line is shown connecting points at ordered pairs 1,10 and 2, 20 and 3, 30 and 4, 40. The title of the graph is Rate of Ascent. What is the rate of change for the relationship represented in the graph?

Answer:
C. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a graph representing the height of the elevator with respect to time.
Since, we know that,
X-axis represents the 'time' in seconds and y-axis represents the 'height of the elevator' in feet.
As, the coordinate points on the graph are given by,
(1,10), (2,20), (3,30) and (4,40).
So, the rate of change can be found out by solving, .
Hence, the rate of change of the relationship is 10.
