Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

1) Hello :

let A(-2,3) B(4,-5)

the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(-5-3)/(4+2) = -8/6 =-4/3

2) Use the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) you have :

m=0 x_1=4 y_1=6

an equation for this line is : y-6 =0(x-4)

so : y=6

How many different 10 person committees can be selected from a pool of 23 people?

Salsk061 [2.6K]

We're going to be using combination since this question is asking how many different combinations of 10 people can be selected from a set of 23.

We would only use permutation if the order of the people in the committee mattered, which it seems it doesn't.

Formula for combination:

$C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

Where $n$ represents the number of objects/people in the set and $r$ represents the number of objects/people being chosen from the set

There are 23 people in the set and 10 people being chosen from the set

$C(23,10)=\dfrac{23!}{(23-10)!10!}$

$=\dfrac{23!}{13!\times10!}$

Usually I would prefer solving such fractions by hand instead of a calculator, but factorials can result in large numbers and there is too much multiplication. Using a calculator, we get

$=1,144,066$

Thus, there are 1,144,066 different 10 person committees that can be selected from a pool of 23 people. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Consider the two graphs above.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

B. Graph 2 represents a proportional relationship, but graph 1 does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

All proportional relationships pass through the origin. Graph 2 does but Graph 1 does not. Additionaly, Graph 2 is a straight line that represents a proportional relationship. Another way to find out if it is proportional is to find the constant of proportionality by dividing the y by the x in different parts of the line. The numbers should all have the same constant of proportionality.

Examples (all found in Graph 2):

15/3 = 5

10/2 = 5

5/1 = 5
