To find the new position of the submarine after it ascends 200 feet from a depth of 650 feet below sea level, you can do the following calculation:

Starting position (depth): -650 feet
Ascend: +200 feet

New position = Starting position + Ascend
New position = -650 + 200 = -450 feet

So, the integer that represents its new position is -450.
