a fish is swimming at a contest rate toward the ocean floor. the equation y=-7x-3 can be used to represent to this situation where y is the depth of the fish in meters below se level. x is the number of seconds the fish has been swimming. which staTement best describes the depth of the fish given this equation.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -7x - 3 is a linear function that follow y = mx+b. M is the slope or rate. Here m = -7 so the fish descends 7 meters per second. B is the y-intercept or starting position. Here the starting position is -3 so the fish starts 3 feet below sea level.

3

step-by-step explanation:

answer: f = 32.2m

step-by-step explanation: that is the answer
