Question

A sumbmarine is at a depth of 100' below sea level Then it starts to dive at a rate of 50' per minute. What is the slope of the line that models this situation

Answer 1

the depth of submarine is 100' below sea level

the rate of dive is 50' per minute

then it can be represented by the equation

y = 50x + 100

here x is representing the time

the slope of the line is 50 and y is representing the depth.

so the slope of the line is 50
