A golf-course architect has fivefive linden trees, fourfour white birch trees, and threethree bald cypress trees to plant in a row along a fairway. In how many ways can the landscaper plant the trees in a row, assuming that the trees are evenly spaced?

27,720 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of permutations of non-distinct items is determined by the following expression:

If there are five linden trees, four white birch trees, and three bald cypress trees:

The landscaper can plant the trees is 27,720 distinct ways.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
