Answer:

d(t) = -20t - 260

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth function is:

d(t) = mt + b

After 3 minutes, a submarine had descended to −320 feet.

This means that d(3) = -320. So

d(t) = mt + b

-320 = 3m + b

After 8 minutes, the submarine had descended to −420 feet.

This means that d(8) = -420. So

d(t) = mt + b

-420 = 8m + b

From the first equation:

b = -320 - 3m

So

-420 = 8m + b

-420 = 8m - 320 - 3m

5m = -100

m = \frac{-100}{5}

m = -20

And

b = -320 - 3*(-20) = -260

So

d(t) = -20t - 260
