Please explain how to solve this! I’m really confused on this one :(

Steve is scuba diving near his home in maui. at one point he is 100 feet below the surface. represent this number with a negative number. if he descends another 5 feet, what negative number will represents his.

Can someone check if i did this correct. it’s number 4 if you’re wondering.

What are the solutions of the equation? 5z^2 + 9z - 2 = 0 a. 1, -2 b. 1, 2 c. 1/5, -2 d. 1/5, 2
