since this solver doesn't let me to plot a point P(6, 6), I did plot a point P(5, 6); so, you just need to move your point one more unit (6 units) to the right on x-axis

Solved by pluggable solver: Plot a Single Point
Start at the origin (where the the x and y axis intersect)


Now move your pencil 5 units to the right


We move 5 units in this direction since the x-coordinate is 5 (its the first number of the pair)







Now go 6 units up


We move 6 units in this direction since the y-coordinate is 6 (its the second number of the pair)






Plot a point where the pencil lands





So here is the point (5,6)

He's not talking about plotting points he's talking about the Permutation Formula
I currently have the same question posted but here are the formulas...
I just figured it out XD

1.) P%28n%2Cr%29+=+%28n%21%29%2F%28n-r%29%21
2.) P%28n%2Cn%29+=+n%21

All right first use the #1 Formula
P%28n%2Cr%29+=+%28n%21%29%2F%28n-r%29%21
Take the problem
P=(6,6)
and plug it in to the equation
P%28n%2Cr%29+=+%28n%21%29%2F%28n-r%29%21
Apparently 6 is both n and r
so we rewrite the equation as this
P%286%2C6%29+=+%286%21%29%2F%286-6%29%21
Lets solve the numerator first
Numerator
%286%21%29= 720
so P%286%2C6%29+=+720%2F%286-6%29%21
now we solve the denominator first work in the parenthesis
Denominator: %286-6%29%21= %280%29%21
Well 0!=1
so plug that in and the final answer is
P%286%2C6%29+=+720%2F1
and we know anything over one is whole
so
P%286%2C6%29+=+720%2F%286-6%29%21= P%286%2C6%29+=+720
And your answer is P%286%2C6%29+=+720

Good luck and God Bless!
