The linear plot shows how water pressure changes as a diver's depth increases. What is the best
description of the effect on the water pressure experienced by a diver based on the diver's depth?
Water Pressure vs. Depth
For overy 33 feet a diver descends, the pressure
increases by 1 atmosphere.

For every 33 feet a diver ascends, the pressure
increases by 1 atmosphere.
For every 33 units of increase in atmospheric
pressure, the diver ascends by 1 foot.
