How many line segments can be formed by choosing (2) points from (13) points?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 78

A line segment has two endpoints. Hence, the number of line segments equals the number of ways of choosing 2 points from 13 points: \(\binom{13}{2}=\frac{13\times12}{2}=78\). Therefore, 78 is correct. The value 156 counts each pair in two orders, but the order of endpoints does not matter for a line segment. Exam tip: use \(\binom{n}{2}\) when choosing two items and order does not matter.
