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

41% Answer Correctly

slope

x-intercept

y-intercept

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


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

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

69% Answer Correctly

equal length

parallel

equal angle

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

If angle a = 67° and angle b = 49° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
64°
77°
94°
118°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 67° - 49° = 64°


4

If side a = 7, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)
\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 62
c2 = 49 + 36
c2 = 85
c = \( \sqrt{85} \)


5

Solve for c:
-3c + 4 = \( \frac{c}{2} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{6}{19}\)
2\(\frac{4}{7}\)
1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{7}{11}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-3c + 4 = \( \frac{c}{2} \)
2 x (-3c + 4) = c
(2 x -3c) + (2 x 4) = c
-6c + 8 = c
-6c + 8 - c = 0
-6c - c = -8
-7c = -8
c = \( \frac{-8}{-7} \)
c = 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
