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

Which statement best describes the depth of the fish, given this equation?
From a starting position of 7 meters below sea level, the fish is descending 3 meters per second.
B From a starting position of 7 meters below sea level, the fish is ascending 3 meters per second.
C From a starting position of 3 meters below sea level, the fish is descending 7 meters per second

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165)  now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon.  however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant.  in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
