A situation that would be modeled by a negative number typically involves a decrease or loss, such as a drop in elevation below sea level or a reduction in quantity.
In the options provided, the situation that results in a change that could be modeled by a negative number is:
- **a change in elevation from 632 feet to 312 feet** - This indicates a decrease in elevation of 320 feet, which can be represented as a negative change.
The other options either involve increases in elevation or starting from below sea level and going above it, which do not necessarily represent a negative change in the context provided.
