Question

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 -2/3. If the mainland harbor is located at point (1, 2), which graph represents the travel path of the ferry?

Answer 3

Well you know your slope is -2/3

So that means you start at the point where the line hits the y axis and you count down 2 and right 3 and if the line doesn't hit there you know it's out.

So we can cross off B and D because they don't

Answer 4

And C looks like the graph that has a point solidly on (1,2) (A is like a little above it)

So we know it has to be C

Answer 5

i had forgot how to locate the slope did you use rise over run? THANK YOU

Answer 6

Yes you can eliminate at first alll graphs but C and B actually because they are the only ones who have a point at (1,2)

And then since the slope is -2/3 you start at (1,2) and go down 2 and right 3 and if you aren't on another point then it's not the answer.

Answer 7

okay, Thank you very much!

You're welcome!
