To determine which car is moving to the right and slowing down, we need to look at the direction of both the velocity vector \( (\vec{v}) \) and the acceleration vector \( (\vec{a}) \). When a car is moving to the right, the velocity vector points to the right, while slowing down means the acceleration vector must point to the left (opposite to the direction of travel). Thus, any diagram in which the velocity vector points to the right and the acceleration vector points to the left indicates that the car is moving to the right and slowing down. Check the diagrams for these specific vector directions to identify the correct situation!
