Suppose you are climbing a hill whose shape is given by the equation z = 2,000 - 0.005x - 0.01y, where x, y, and z are measured in meters, and you are standing at a point with coordinates (160, 160, 1616). The positive x-axis points east and the positive y-axis points north. (a) If you walk due south, will you start to ascend or descend? O ascend O descend At what rate (in vertical meters per horizontal meter)? vertical meters per horizontal meter
