A motorboat moves across a lake at a constant speed. when it begins it from the shore. after 9 minitues it is 14 km from the shore. which function decribes the motorboat distance from the shore? a. y= 4x + 50
b. y= -4x + 50
c. y= 9x + 50
d. y= -9x + 50

The function describes the motorboat's distance from the shore  

Step-by-step explanation:

A motorboat moves across a lake as a constant speed. when it begins, it is 50 km from the shore

After 9 minutes, it is 14 km from the shore.

So, rate of change =  

Negative sign shows that there is decrease in distance per minute

The rate of change of distance is 4 km / minutes

General equation : y = mx+c

Where m is the slope and c is the constant

Substitute the values in the equation :

y=-4x+50

Where y is the final distance and x is the minutes

So, Option C is true

Hence The function describes the motorboat's distance from the shore
