The number of nonoverlapping segments formed by n collinear points

It will always be n-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two examples:

▪-----▪-----▪

3 collinear points --> 2 segments

▪-----▪-----▪-----▪-----▪-----▪

6 collinear points --> 5 segments

It is n MINUS one because the last point does not make another segment.

when rotating a figure 180 degrees, imagine that you are able to take the figure and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise around a center point. to rotate a figure 180 degrees, you will need to apply the rule (x, y) → (-x, -y). start by using a coordinate grid with coordinates for each vertex of the figure. the center point of the coordinate grid is located at (0, 0), which is what you will rotate the figure around. write down the original coordinates of the shape you are going to rotate. then, apply the rule. for example, coordinate (1, 2) becomes (-1, -2). another example would be, coordinate (-4, -2) becoming (4, 2). after you change each original coordinate to the rotated coordinate, you will draw your new figure.
