10 points are given on a plane. How many line segments can be drawn using them?

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 points to choose as "starting points" and 9 points to connect them to so you would think that the answer is 10 * 9 = 90. However, this is incorrect as it is over-counting by a factor of 2. Suppose we have two points A and B. Using this method, 2 of the 90 line segments would be AB and BA but AB and BA are the same line segment. Therefore, the answer is 90 / 2 = 45.

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • The point (4, -8)
  • Slope m = 1/4

To determine

What is the equation in the standard form of the line that passes through the point (4, −8) and has a slope of 1/4.

Using the point-slope form of the line equation

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

where

  • m is the slope of the line
  • (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting the values m = 1/4 and the point (4, -8)

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

y-\left(-8\right)=\frac{1}{4}\left(x-4\right)

y+8=\frac{1}{4}\left(x-4\right)

Subtract 8 from both sides

y+8-8=\frac{1}{4}\left(x-4\right)-8

y=\frac{1}{4}x-1-8

y=\frac{1}{4}x-9

Writing the equation in the standard form

As we know that the equation in the standard form is

Ax+By=C

where x and y are variables and A, B and C are constants

so

y=\frac{1}{4}x-9

x=4y+36

x - 4y = 36

Therefore, the equation in the standard form of the line that passes through the point (4, −8) and has a slope of 1/4 will be:

x - 4y = 36

Hence, option A is correct.

The number of three-digit numbers with distinct digits that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 9 is ________. (Op
wolverine [178]
There are six digits to choose from, but you're only taking three at a time, so the number of such numbers is

{}_6P_3=\dfrac{6!}{3!}=6\times5\times4=120

The first and last digits can only be even if the number takes the one of the forms "2 _ 8" or "8 _ 2". The middle number can be any of the remaining four, so there is a total of eight such numbers.

This means the probability of getting a number beginning and ending with an even digits is \dfrac8{120}=\dfrac1{15}.

Find the exponential function that contains the points (3,24) and (4,48).
Lady bird [3.3K]

The required  exponential function that contains the points (3,24) and (4,48) is y = 3(2)^x

<h3>Exponential functions</h3>

The standard exponential function is expresses as y = ab^x

Given the coordinate points (3,24) and (4,48), the equivalent equations are:

24 = ab^3 ......... 1

48 = ab^4

Take the ratios

48/24 = b^4/b^3

2 = b

Substitute b = 2 into equation 1

24 = a(2)^3

8a = 24

a = 3

Hence the required  exponential function that contains the points (3,24) and (4,48) is y = 3(2)^x
