1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -5) and (2, -3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x + 3
y = -3x + 0
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. 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, -5) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (-5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 9. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
14
158
258
30

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 1 x 9) + (2 x 9 x 7) + (2 x 1 x 7)
sa = (18) + (126) + (14)
sa = 158


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

If side x = 8cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
25cm
20cm
24cm
42cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 8cm + 8cm = 24cm


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
