X+y=5 would be the correct one
The answer would be (-1,-6). Remember that the x-axis runs left to right and the y-axis runs up and down. Therefore, if you were to reflect it, just picture it being flipped over. If you go from (-1,+6) and you reflect it over the x-axis, both points are now in the bottom left quadrant where everything is negative. So, you get (-1,-6) The -1 doesn't change since it was already a -x value before and stayed in a negative area.
The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.
This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.
For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....
We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880
Another way to write this is: 9!
One foot is 12 inches so 36/12=3 so 3 feet
