ten points labeled a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j are arranged in a plane in such a way that no three lie on the same straight line. (a) how many straight lines are determined by the ten points?

Respuesta :

Total number of straight lines are 45 and it can be found out using combination.

What is combination?

A combination could be a choice of things from a collection that has distinct members, such the order of choice doesn't matter.

Main body:

Total points = 10

we need to find no three lie on the same straight line.

so , to find we can select 2 lines out of 10 and assume packing them together so  no 3 points lie on a line .

selection of 2 points out of 10.

C(10,2) = ¹⁰C₂

           = 10!/2!8!

           = 10*9/2

           = 45 lines.

Hence ,Total number of straight lines are 45 .
