Answer:
y = 
x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4)
m = 
=
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2) ⇒ c = 2
y = x + 2 ← equation of line
Put in terms of a
b=2a
a=a
c=a-15000
2a+a+a-15000=109000
2a+a+a=124000
4a=124000
a=31000

So a diver went 25.65 ft BELOW so it's negative.
then he went 16.5 ft further down, so that's negative also.
he then rose 12.45 ft, so that's positive.
so the expression is: -25.65+-16.5+12.45, the answer is 23.7
