Answer:
m = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the points are collinear, they all lie on the same line and have the same slope between them.
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 6)
m = =
= 3
Now calculate the slope using 2 other points and equate to 3
(x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (m, 12)
m = =
= 3 ( multiply both sides by m - 3 )
6 = 3(m - 3) ← divide both sides by 3
2 = m - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )
5 = m
We will investigate how to determine Hamilton paths and circuits
Hamilton path: A path that connect each vertex/point once without repetition of a point/vertex. However, the starting and ending point/vertex can be different.
Hamilton circuit: A path that connect each vertex/point once without repetition of a point/vertex. However, the starting and ending point/vertex must be the same!
As the starting point we can choose any of the points. We will choose point ( F ) and trace a path as follows:
The above path covers all the vertices/points with the starting and ending point/vertex to be ( F ). Such a path is called a Hamilton circuit per definition.
We will choose a different point now. Lets choose ( E ) as our starting point and trace the path as follows:
The above path covers all the vertices/points with the starting and ending point/vertex are different with be ( E ) and ( C ), respectively. Such a path is called a Hamilton path per definition.
One more thing to note is that all Hamilton circuits can be converted into a Hamilton path like follows:
The above path is a hamilton path that can be formed from the Hamilton circuit example.
But its not necessary for all Hamilton paths to form a Hamilton circuit! Unfortunately, this is not the case in the network given. Every point is in a closed loop i.e there is no loose end/vertex that is not connected by any other vertex.
