Answer: The correct option is (a) 12.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the number of permutations that exists for the letters a, b, c and d taking two at a time.

We know

The number of permutations of 'n' different things taking 'r' ('r' less than or equal to 'n') at a time is given by the formula:

^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}.

In the given case, there are 4 different letters and we are to take two at a time, so

n = 4  and  r = 2.

Therefore, the number of permutations will be

^4P_2=\dfrac{4!}{(4-2)!}=\dfrac{4!}{2!}=\dfrac{4\times3\times2\times 1}{2\times 1}=4\times 3=12.

Thus, there are 12 permutations that exists.

Option (a) is correct.

Write the equation of the line that passes through points (-7,8) and (4,-5)
Alex

Answer:

y=-3/11x+67/11

Step-by-step explanation:

y-8=-5-8/4--7(x--7)

y-8=-3/11(x+7)

11y-88=-3x-21

11y=-3x-21+88

11y=-3x+67

y=-3/11x+67/11

Which sequence of transformations produces R'S'T' from RST? On a coordinate plane, triangle R S T has points (0, 0), (negative 2
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle RST and another triangle R'S'T' tranformed from RST

Vertices of RST are (0, 0), (negative 2, 3), (negative 3, 1).

Vertices of R'S'T' are  (2, 0), (0, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 1).

Comparing the corresponding vertices we find that x coordinate increased by 2 while y coordinate got the different sign.

This indicates that there is both reflection and transformation horizontally to the right by 2 units

So first shifted right by 2 units so that vertices became

(2,0) (0,3) (-1,1)

Now reflected on the line y=0 i.e. x axis

New vertices are

(2,0) (0,-3) (-1,-1)
