Explain what each of the numbers-20, -40, and -60 tells you about
hike 5. What does it mean for the numbers to be negative in this
situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hike 1 : 768, -96, 672

Hike 2: -62, 82, 20

Hike 3: 62, -100, -38

Hike 4: 354, -225, 129

Hike 5: -20, -40, -60

The -20 is at what surface level Lin began Hike 5 at. From there, they continued to go in this situation lower by - 40, and arrive at the surface region of -60.

Negative numbers in the present circumstance mean under 0. (Underneath surface region)
