Answer:

The value of x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • The point (x,-4)
  • The point (2,8)

To determine

  • m = -3

Using the formula

Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

here:

  • (x₁, y₁) = (x, -4)
  • (x₂, y₂) = (2, 8)
  • m = -3

so substitute (x₁, y₁) = (x, -4) , (x₂, y₂) = (2, 8)  and m = -3

m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

-3 =  [8 - (-4)] / [2 - x]

-3 = [12] / [2-x]  

-3 (2-x) = 12

-6+3x = 12

3x = 12+6

3x = 18

divide  both sides by 3

3x/3 = 18/3

x = 6

Therefore, the value of x = 6

Answer:

P43=4!(4–3)!=241=24

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four choices you can make for the lead reindeer. For each possible choice, there are then three remaining you can choose to fly second, making 4×3=12 choices for the lead pair. For each possible choice there are two remaining reindeer to take up the back position, making 12×2=24 choices for the team of three.

This type of problem is called a permutation problem, and we write Pnr for the number of ways of choosing r items from n possibilities when the order of the items matters. In this case we are choosing 3 reindeer from 4 possibilities, and the order they appear in the flying line does matter, so the answer we want is P43. The general formula is Pnr=n!(n−r)!. For the answer we are looking for we therefore have:

P43=4!(4–3)!=241=24
