Question

A scuba diver is at -20 meters. He descends 10 meters per minute, m. Write and solve an inequality that represents how many minutes it will take him to be below -170 meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

-170= -10m - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

-20 is the y intercept, so in the equation y=mx+b that would be the b. Because he is going down at 10 meters per minute, it means that the -10 would go into the x spot and the -170 is where he needs to get to. Hope this helped!
