To find your new elevation after climbing up 125 feet from the Dead Sea's elevation of -1,410 feet, you can simply add the height you climbed to the current elevation:

\[
-1,410 \text{ feet} + 125 \text{ feet} = -1,285 \text{ feet}
\]

So, your new elevation would be **−1,285 feet** (or negative 1,285 feet). The correct response is:

−1,285 feet
negative 1,285 feet
