A scuba diver descends farther down into the ocean from an initial depth of 13.6 feet below sea level. The scuba diver descends at a constant rate for 2 1/2 minutes and reaches a depth no more than 48.2 feet below sea level.

What is the maximum rate, r, that the scuba diver may descend?

r ≥ 24.72
r ≤ 24.72
r ≤ 13.84
r ≥13.84​

The scuba driver descends at a maximum rate of r ≤ -13.84

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b;

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Let r represent the maximum rate. Given an initial depth of 13.6 feet below sea level.

The scuba diver descends at a constant rate for 2 1/2 minutes and reaches a depth no more than 48.2 feet below sea level. This can be represented as:

2.5r - 13.6 ≤ -48.2

2.5r ≤ - 34.6

r ≤ -13.84

Hence the scuba driver descends at a maximum rate of r ≤ -13.84
