Question

A submarine is descending to examine the seafloor 2,100 feet below the surface. It takes the submarine 2 hours to make this descent. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the submarine elevation and time (WRITE AN EQUATION NOT ANSWER EQUATION ​

Answer 1

Equation:

Let "e" be the elevation of the submarine and "t" be the time taken to descend.

Then, the equation representing the relationship between the submarine elevation and time is:

e = -105t + 2100

where the coefficient of "t" (-105) represents the rate of descent of the submarine, and the constant term (2100) represents the initial elevation of the submarine.
