Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
|
y-intercept |
|
slope |
|
x-intercept |
A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
Find the value of c:
2c + x = 3
-6c - 6x = -4
| \(\frac{1}{22}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{32}{39}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{7}{24}\) |
You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of x:
2c + x = 3
x = 3 - 2c
then substitute the result (3 - 2c) into the second equation:
-6c - 6(3 - 2c) = -4
-6c + (-6 x 3) + (-6 x -2c) = -4
-6c - 18 + 12c = -4
-6c + 12c = -4 + 18
6c = 14
c = \( \frac{14}{6} \)
c = 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Simplify 7a x 3b.
| 21a2b2 | |
| 21\( \frac{b}{a} \) | |
| 21ab | |
| 21\( \frac{a}{b} \) |
To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.
7a x 3b = (7 x 3) (a x b) = 21ab
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
normalizing |
|
deconstructing |
|
factoring |
|
squaring |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
On this circle, line segment CD is the:
radius |
|
circumference |
|
diameter |
|
chord |
A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
