A fish is swimming at a constant rate toward the ocean floor. The equation y = -7 x - 3 can be used to represent this situation, where y is the depth of the fish in meters below sea level and x is the number of seconds the fish has been swimming. A. From a starting position of 7 meters below sea level, the fish is ascending 3 meters per second.
B. From a starting position of 3 meters below sea level, the fish is ascending 7 meters per second.
