Answer:
equation y =7/4x+1
slope = 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two points so we can find the slope
m =(y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (4--3)/(2--2)
= (4+3) / (2+2)
= 7/4
We know the slope and the y intercept
We can write the equation using y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y= 7/4x +1
We put at dot at (0,1) and then go up 7 and to the right 4 . We put another dot
Connect the dots and we have our line.
We could also put dots at (-2,-3) and (2,4) and connect the dots.
<h3>Answer: 28</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
Method 1
Imagine a table with 8 rows and 8 columns to represent all possible match-ups. You can actually draw out this table or just think of it as a thought experiment.
There are 8*8 = 64 entries in the table. Along the northwest diagonal, we have each team pair up with itself. This is of course silly and impossible. We cross off this entire diagonal so we drop to 64-8 = 56 entries.
Then notice that the lower left corner is a mirror copy of the upper right corner. A match-up like AB is the same as BA. So we must divide by 2 to get 56/2 = 28 different matches.
----------------------------------
Method 2
There are 8 selections for the first slot, and 8-1 = 7 selections for the second slot. We have 8*7 = 56 permutations and 56/2 = 28 combinations.
----------------------------------
Method 3
Use the nCr combination formula with n = 8 and r = 2
There are 28 combinations possible. Order doesn't matter (eg: match-up AB is the same as match-up BA).
Notice how the (8*7)/2 expression is part of the steps shown above in the nCr formula.
