You must calculate how many ways can 2 people be selected from 65.
The formula is:
n! / r! * (n-r)! =
65! / 2! * 63! =
65*64*63! / 2 * 63! =
65*64 / 2 =
2,080 handshakes

Is there a series of rigid transformations that could map A

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Yes, A KLP can be reflected across the line containing KP and then translated so that Pis mapped to M.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two congruent by HA theorem (they have congruent hypotenuses and a pair of congruent angles adjacent to the hypotenuses) triangles KLP and QNM.

A rigid transformation is a transformation which preserves lengths. Reflection, rotation and translation are rigit transformations.

If you reflect triangle KLP across the leg KP and translate it up so that point P coincides with point M , then the image of triangle KLP after these transformations will be triangle QNM.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line through the two points

Musya8 [376]

$m= \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ \\ m= \frac{-2-2}{2-(-2)} \\ \\ m= \frac{-4}{4} \\ \\ m=-1$

$y=mx+b \\ \\ y=-1x+b$

$(2)=(-1)(-2)+b \\ \\ 2=2+b \\ \\ 0=b$

$y=-1x+0 \\ \\ y=-x$
