Answer:

- 1320 feet.

Explanation:

The submarine starts at - 1260 feet in relation to the sea level.

Now, it descends 5 feet per minute for 12 minutes.

We have to find the new position of the submarine with respect to sea level.

Hence, the new position of the submarine will be - 1260 + (- 5)(12) = - 1260 - 60 = - 1320 feet with respect to sea level. (Answer)
