### Take Quiz

#### Question:

Which of the following vectors best describes the direction of the acceleration at point 60m, -45m?

#### Options:

a. 
\[ \rightarrow \] 

b. 
\[ \swarrow \]

c. 
\[ \downarrow \]

d. 
\[ \uparrow \]

#### Graph Explanation:

The graph illustrates a cliff environment with various points where measurements have been taken. The right side of the image shows numerical values that represent the coordinates in meters. Each blue dot represents a specific coordinate point along with its label. 

The points labeled on the graph are:

- \((20m, -5m)\)
- \((40m, -20m)\)
- \((60m, -45m)\)
- \((80m, -80m)\)
- \((100m, -125m)\)

Each point is plotted on a Cartesian coordinate system where:
- The x-axis ranges from 0 to 120 meters.
- The y-axis ranges from 10 to -120 meters.

The plot begins at the edge of a cliff, and the data points extend downward in a pattern that suggests a falling object being accelerated by gravity.

#### Task:

Choose the correct vector that describes the direction of acceleration (which should be downward due to gravity) at the given point \((60m, -45m)\).
