and x is the number of minutes the scuba diver has been swimming.
Which statement best describes the depth of the scuba diver, given the equation?
a
From a starting point of 6 meters below sea level, the scuba diver is ascending 14 meters per minute.
From a starting point of 14 meters above sea level, the scuba diver is decending 6 meters per minute.
