Combinatorics Difficulty 4.9 AIME Find the answer

How many different graphs with 9 vertices exist where each vertex is connected to 2 others?

A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.

Solution

It suffices to consider the complements of the graphs, so we are looking for graphs with 9 vertices, where each vertex is connected to 2 others. There are 4\mathbf{4} different graphs.
