The table below lists the time and elevation of a submarine as it dives towards
the ocean floor.
time (minutes)
elevation (meters)
10 30
-150 | 450
60
-900
90
-1350
120
-1800
why is the elevation given as a negative number?
a.
b.
what happens to the elevation of the submarine as the time increases?
using the pattern in the table, what is the elevation of the submarine after
3 hours? after 45 minutes? after 0 minutes?
d.
graph the relationship in the table.
e.
review the math notes box in this lesson. is this relationship
proportional? why or why not? if the relationship is proportional, is it
