1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Solve -9c - 6c = -6c + y - 9 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{1}{4}\)y + 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 3
-2\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + 3
\(\frac{3}{7}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-9c - 6y = -6c + y - 9
-9c = -6c + y - 9 + 6y
-9c + 6c = y - 9 + 6y
-3c = 7y - 9
c = \( \frac{7y - 9}{-3} \)
c = \( \frac{7y}{-3} \) + \( \frac{-9}{-3} \)
c = -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + 3


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all acute angles equal each other

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
324π
243π
72π
64π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 3)
v = 243π
