Y = -9x - 10
The dolphin is diving 9 feet per second so the rate of change is -9.
It's also 10 feet below sea level which makes the y-intercept -10

The bottlenose dolphin is 10 feet below sea level

-10 ft.

it begins to dive at 9 feet per second

y = (- 9x) - 10

y = (- 9x) - 10 is your equation

hope this helps
