Answer:
y - 1 = -(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = (5-1)/(-2-2) = 4/-4 = -1
Using any one coordinate, construct
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = -1(x - 2)
Since we need to find the number of ways they could enter first, second and third place, (I can't demonstrate, but you should get the idea) take 8, 7 and 6 and multiply them, 5-1 we don't need, we just need 8, 7, and 6, multiply those three numbers and you get 336, there you go, 336 ways to organize all 8 girls in first, second and third place, hope this helps
Lets say the 3x3 Matrix is
M = [1 5 2 ]
[1 1 7 ]
[0 -3 7 ]
We apply the Gauss-Jordan elimination method

I’m not quite sure but I think it’s B)
