Answer:
The correct answer is the second one because -10/3 and that graph adds up
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 board members and 3 committee members. You can solve this using combinations:
4C3 = 4!/(3!(4-3)!) = 4!/(3!1!) = 4
You can also solve this by recognizing that since there is one fewer committee spot than there are board members, there will be one possible committee excluding each of the 4 board members.
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to go up 10 places to get from the first point to the second
You also have to go 1 place to the right
Since the slope is Y/X, the slope of this line is 10/1

Answer: 2.2 units</h3>
============================================
Explanation:
I'll define these point labels
- B = Blake's starting position
- F = finish line
- C = the third unmarked point of the triangle
The locations of the points are
- B = (-8,1)
- C = (-6,-3)
- F = (4,-2)
Use the distance formula to find the distance from B to C
Segment BC is roughly 4.47214 units long.
Following similar steps, you should find that segment CF is approximately 10.04988 units long.
If Blake doesn't take the shortcut, then he travels approximately BC+CF = 4.47214+10.04988 = 14.52202 units. This is the path from B to C to F in that order.
---------
Use the distance formula again to find the distance from B to F. This distance is about 12.36932 units. He travels this amount if he takes the shortcut.
Subtract this and the previous result we got
14.52202 - 12.36932 = 2.1527
That rounds to 2.2
This is the amount of distance he doesn't have to travel when he takes the shortcut.
In other words, the track is roughly 2.2 units shorter when taking the shortcut.
Side note: Replace "units" with whatever units you're working with (eg: feet or meters).
