Answer: $\dfrac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

The given points : (2,3) and (6,8)

Then, the slope of the line passing through (2,3) and (6,8) is given by :-

$m=\dfrac{8-3}{6-2}=\dfrac{5}{4}$

Hence, the slope of a line with endpoints (2,3) and (6,8) = $\dfrac{5}{4}$

A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms. It can be determined if it is a difference of two squares when you factor it.

The resulting factor of a trinomial that is a difference of two squares is: a² – b² = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b)

You will notice that the middle term is missing. This means that the middle term zeroes out as a result of having the same number of different signs (+ and -)

Answer:

There are a total of possible 1820 results.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two competitions, one for boys and one for girls, and we want all the possible results we will calculate the possible combinations for the boys and multiply them by the possible combinations for the girls. This is shown below:

$Boys = \frac{15!}{3!(15 - 3)!} = \frac{15!}{3!12!} = \frac{15*14*13*12!}{3!12!}\\Boys = \frac{15*14*13}{3*2*1}\\Boys = \frac{15*14*13}{3*2*1}\\Boys = 455$
