1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x + 1
y = x + 1
y = 2x + 0
y = -2x + 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 1. 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, 3) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -x + 1


2

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
240
64
36
189

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 2 x 3
v = 36


4

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
54
15
72
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 1 = \( \frac{7}{2} \) = 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
