12. Suppose a Student Government consists of 20 Seniors, 34 Juniors, 16 Sophomores, and 54 Freshmen. They need to choose four different members to be President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. In how many ways is this possible if Seniors will be chosen as President, Juniors as Vice President, Sophomores as Treasurer, and Freshmen as Secretary?

step-by-step explanation:

yes it represnts a functio, their are not 2 of the same numbers on the both sides

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
