Answer:

+735 feets

Explanation:

Points or position above sea level are denoted with positive elevation values while points or positions below sea level are denoted by negative values. The sea level position itself could be viewed as a midpoint such as the position of 0 on a number line ; where distances to the right are positive and distances to the left are negative.

Hence, a point which is said to be 735 feets above sea level would have an equivalent numeric representation of +735 feets
