Y=mx+b where m=-6, x=-2, and y=-3. Substituting these values in would result in -3=(-6)(-2)+b, which would simplify to -3=12+b, and further to b=-15. This would mean the y intercept is equal to -15, or (0,-15). To check, (-6)*(-2)-15 is in fact equal to -3, thus allowing easy identification of a graph, which will cross the y axis at -15 and decrease in y-value by 6 with every increase in x-value.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure 101 kN/m plus 8 kN/m for every meter below the surface, therefore;
a. expression for pressure is given by,
............................... (1)
where d = depth below the surface in meter.
b. to find the depth at any pressure, equation (1) above is rearranged to make depth (d) subject of the formula

as an example, to find depth at pressure of 200N/m
d = (200 - 101)/8 = 12.375 meters
depth is 12.375 meters below the surface.
