Please help asap! i just need the answers. brainliest to first CORRECT answer!! thanks!

a. 8,953.5 seconds

b. 14,400 seconds (check note)

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

y=-4x

y=-35814 (negative because this is underwater)

-35814=-4x

8953.5

The model suggests it would take 8,953.5 seconds for DeepSea Challenger to reach the bottom (2.487083333 hours, or about 2 hours and 30 minutes).

b.

y=4x

x=3600 (positive because the vessel is rising)

4(3600)

14400

It took 14,400 seconds for the DeepSea Challenger to ascend to the surface.

[also note: I'm not sure if the second question is asking for how many seconds it takes to ascend to the surface with reference to the 4 seconds in the previous question (which is how I answered part b) or if it's asking how many seconds 1 hour is, and in that case. the answer is 3,600 seconds. I hope this helps and sorry if it's unclear!]
