Answer:it take the hawk 100 seconds to dive -70 meters

Explanation:

A red-tailed hawk dives at a constant rate in which its altitude changes by -7meters in 10 second. Therefore, the rate at which his altitude changes per second would be

- 7/10 = - 0.7 meters per second

Time = distance / speed

Therefore, the time it will take the hawk to dive -70 meters would be

- 70/- 0.7 = 100 seconds
