Answer
The r ate of change of altitude between points F and G is $1.5$ yards per second.
Work Step by Step
First, get the coordinates of each point.
$\\\\$Point F is 22 units to the right of the y-axis so $x=22$ and 2 units above the x-axis so $y=2$. Thus, the coordinates of F are $(22, 2)$.
$\\\\$Point G is 26 units to the right of the y-axis so $x=26$ and 8 units above the x-axis so $y=8$. Thus, the coordinates of G are $(26, 8)$.
$\\\\\\$Solve for the rate of change of altitude from point F to G by using the slope formula:
$\\\\\text{rate of change in altitude}
\\\\=\dfrac{8-2}{26-22}
\\\\=\dfrac{6}{4}
\\\\=1.5$
