The student is incorrect because if they were to reflect point A over the X-axis, this would mean they are moving it from its current quadrant to the one below. In that quadrant, the Y coordinate will be negative. So it couldn't possibly (6,3), because the 3 isn't negative.
The given equation is of the form y = m x + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept that is value of y when x =0 , or we can say b is the initial value.
In the given equation which is y = 4t+2, on comparing we will get m =4 that is slope is 4 and here slope represents the rate or speed and 2 is the y intercept that is b. And 2 represents the initial position that is, the ant is 2 units from the home initially .
-126 = -34 + 2x is the equation you would use. solve for x, which would be -46. it would take 46 minutes for the diver to reach 126 feet below sea level.
