A submarine is being tracked underwater. At the beginning of the tracking the submarine is at a depth of 263 feet below sea level.

The submarine is descending at 52 feet per minute.

Assume the number of minutes is your independent variable (x) and the depth is your dependent variable (y).

Find 'y', the depth of the submarine after x minutes

Write your equation in the form y = _____________.
