Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

slope

x-intercept


Solution

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.


2

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

64% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% Answer Correctly

origin

y-axis

all of these

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

If side x = 9cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
32cm
26cm
24cm
28cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 13cm + 10cm = 32cm


5

If a = c = 1, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 56°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
18
6
30
12

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 6
a = 6
