Look at picture

Answer 1

so what is the question?

Answer 2

It says it on the picture... @panlac01

Answer 3

The travel path of a ferry heading from a mainland harbor toward an island jetty is graphed on a coordinate grid. The graph is a straight line with a slope of - 3/2 .
If the mainland harbor is located at point (−3, 5), which graph represents the travel path of the ferry?

Answer 4

I have to pick, A B C or D

Answer 5

use the point-slope form

Answer 7

So what graph would it be?

Answer 8

Oh use to solve?

Answer 9

use the point-slope form to identify the other coordinates

Answer 10

yeh

Answer 11

I don't know how to set it up though

Answer 12

Oh wait, no I think it's graph C

Answer 13

Right?

Answer 14

plug the values in and then pretty much everything follows through

Answer 15

solve it

Answer 16

I did that into my graphing calculator but it didn't look like any of these... The closet to Graph C

Answer 17

I don't think I'm right though

Answer 18

lol don't cheat

Answer 19

I'm allowed to use a calculator lol

Answer 20

\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
\[y-(-3)=-3/2(x-(5))\]

this is what it looks like when you plug the given values in to the point-slope formula. solve from here

Answer 21

I'm so confused. I think i'll just get my teacher's help on this one

Answer 22

thanks :/

Answer 23

solve from where I left off
