25. A fish is swimming at a constant rate toward the ocean floor. The equation y = -7 -3 can be used to represent this situation, where y is the depth of the fish in meters below sea level and xis the number of seconds the fish has been swimming Which statement best describes the depth of the fish, given this equation?

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.

the easiest way to do these would be to solve the equations. if you can solve the equation than you can solve these problems.

the answer is actually 18%
