The total number of handshakes = 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 36
Answer: 36 handshakes
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line that passes through the two points would be correct if each point, when substituted into the equation, satisfy the equation.
This is what I mean:
Given the equation of the line, y = 2x - 5, and the two points (-2, -9) and (3, 1):
For the first point, substitute x = -2, and y = -9 into y = 2x - 5.
Thus:
-9 = 2(-2) - 5
-9 = -4 - 5
-9 = -9 (this is true). It means the line runs through the point (-2, -9)
For the second point, substitute x = 3, and y = 1 into y = 2x - 5
This:
1 = 2(3) - 5
1 = 6 - 5
1 = 1 (this is true). This also means the point, (3, 1) is also a point that the equation runs across.
How unspecific? What's the cost of one
Divide 5/8 by 150, to see how thick each is, that'll give you 150 even pieces that add up to 5/8
