Step-by-Step Solution
Below the surface is negative, so the start is −12. Rising 5 m adds 5: −12 + 5 = −7. The diver is now at −7 m.
Answer: C) -7
A diver was 12 m below the surface and rose 5 m. What is the diver's new position as an integer (in metres, surface = 0)?

Key idea: Comparing integers
On the number line, the integer on the **right** is the **larger** one. So 5 > 2, but also −2 > −5. This often surprises students: even though 5 is bigger than 2, **−5 is smaller than −2**, because −5 is further to the left. Any positive integer is larger than any negative integer, and zero sits between them.
