I'm stuck on a math question. "A submarine is descending to examine the seafloor 2100 feet below the surface. It takes the submarine 2 hours to make this descent. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the submarines elevation and time."

Step-by-step explanation: This is quite simple first we know that 2,100 is negative(-2,100) because it is descending/going down. So now we know that we can divide -2,100 by 2 which sums up to 1,050. But we are going to have to add a negative sign due to the fact that if the two integers you are dividing are opposite signs it would be negative. So if you add a negative sign to 1,050 it would be -1,050. Just to keep in mind that opposites make negative when dividing I will put the integer rules below.

Answer:

The answer is -1,050.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation to represent the relationship between the submarines elevation & time would be y=-1,050x. Since we know that in two hours the submarine can reach 2,100 feet below the surface we need to figure out how long the submarine can reach in 1 hour. So we do 2,100/2 which equals 1,050. And since the submarine going below, it turns into -1,050.
