Answer: depth is 656 feet</h3>
One equation you can use is y = -12x+752 and you plug in x = 8 to find y.
=================================================
Explanation:
x = number of minutes
y = depth of the submarine
Being at sea level means the depth is y = 0. Diving 752 ft below sea level means the depth is y = 752. It's tempting to make this negative since we're below sea level, but depth values are always positive. They are simply distances you are from the surface of the water. Negative distances are never possible. So this concept might be a bit tricky to get used to.
Possibly equally confusing is the fact that the "12 ft per minute" means the slope is -12. This is because the depth is getting smaller as the submarine gets closer to the surface (aka the sub is rising).
The equation is y = -12x+752. The equation is in the form y = mx+b with m = -12 as the slope and b = 752 as the y intercept. Note how the y intercept is the starting depth value.
From here, we plug in x = 8 to find where the sub is
y = -12x+752
y = -12*8+752
y = -96+752
y = 656
The submarine's depth after eight minutes is 656 feet
----------------------
An alternative equation to use is
y = 12x-752
which is very similar to the other one used earlier. All I did was flip the sign of each term. Now y represents the height of the sub. Negative y values indicate we're below the surface of the water. The slope being positive means the submarine is going upward. The negative y intercept indicates we're starting 752 feet below sea level. Plugging in x = 8 will lead to y = -656, which you'll need to make positive (since all depth values are positive).
As you can probably guess, the change from y = -12x+752 and y = 12x-752 is simply multiplying the right hand side by -1, which explains why the signs flip (and explains how the y value sign flips as well)

You plug in the point into each equation to see if the answer comes out equal. Such as the first one, so you have y=-3/4x+1. So you plug in the -4 for the x then plug in the -2 for y. So you get -2=1.1875, as you see both sides don't add up. As you progress in Algebra I'm guessing that you're in, you'll progress as the year goes on. So your answers are 3x-4y=-4 and y+2=3/4(x+4).
