Question

Sammy saw a fish swimming at a constant rate toward the ocean floor. From a starting position of 7 meters below sea level, the fish is descending 3 meters per second. Sammy said the equation y= -7x - 3 can be used to represent the situation. Explain why Sammy is incorrect and how he could fix it.

Answer 1

y = 3x - (-7)

Explanation:

As the fish starts at -7 meters below sea level, and is descending 3 meters per second, Sammy needs to subtract -7, and then multiply 3 by x. (x being the time is takes)

Answer 2

what grade is this lol

Explanation:
