2. A river's current is traveling 1.2 mph south. How fast can a swimmer travel in still water if she's going 2 mph and makes a 55 degree angle with the river?

stop cheating

step-by-step explanation:

the awnser is visionary

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points

graph #4 (last graph) depict the function   f(x)= -m(x-d)^1/5 i

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

m=slope

but in this function slope is -m that means slope is decreasing and it is decreasing by 1/5 points down the x-axis.

which is shown in graph four

a decreasing slope down x-axis by 1/5 points.

hence 4th graph is the right option for this.
