Problem 2

A hiker starts climbing a hill from an elevation of 200 feet200~\(\text{feet}\) above sea level. After 20 minutes20~\(\text{minutes}\), the hiker reaches an elevation of 800 feet800~\(\text{feet}\) above sea level. Let h(t)h\(\left\)(t\(\right\)) represent the elevation (in feet) above sea level of the hiker tt minutes after starting the climb. Evaluate h(20)h(0)200\(\frac{h\left(20\right)-h\left(0\right)}{20-0}\) and select the correct interpretation of this quotient.
