Without loss of generality, we assume that , otherwise, we will simply relabel the vertices and .

Since , so, there exists a vertex such that

Now,

Since , we obtain

Therefore, we have

Hence proved.

A K-regular graph G is a graph such that deg(v) = K for all vertices v in G. For example, c_9 is a 2-regular graph, because every vertex has degree 2. For some K greater than or equal to 2, neatly draw a simple K-regular graph that has a bridge. If it is impossible, prove why.
