A fishing hook is at an elevation of −12 m relative to sea level. Half an hour later, the fishing hook's elevation increases by 12 m. Which equation represents this situation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]-12m + 12m =0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial\ Position = -12m[/tex]

[tex]Rise = 12m[/tex]

Required

Represent as an equation

The new position of the hook is calculated by:

[tex]New\ Position = Initial\ Position + Rise[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]New\ Position = -12m + 12m[/tex]

[tex]New\ Position = 0[/tex]

Hence, the equation is:

[tex]-12m + 12m =0[/tex]
