we know

equation of straight line

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+4=1(x-2)

y+4=x-2

therefore x-y-6=0 is the required equation

substituting with ax+by+c=0 we get

a=1

Answer:

There are 364 ways of filling the offices.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the order of filling of the offices does not matter, so, we can figure out the different ways of filling the offices by using the combination formula:

$C^{n} _{r}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

where n=14 (number of members)

r=3 number of offices

n!=n·(n-1)·(n-2)·...·3·2·1

$C^{14} _{3}=\frac{14!}{(14-3)!3!}=\frac{14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{(11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1)*(3*2*1)}=\frac{14*13*12}{3*2*1} =364$
