1

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

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-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 = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

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


3

If the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
21
65
97\(\frac{1}{2}\)
16

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 8 = \( \frac{32}{2} \) = 16


4

Solve for c:
-6c + 4 < 9 + c

55% Answer Correctly
c < -\(\frac{5}{7}\)
c < 6
c < -\(\frac{1}{4}\)
c < \(\frac{3}{4}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

-6c + 4 < 9 + c
-6c < 9 + c - 4
-6c - c < 9 - 4
-7c < 5
c < \( \frac{5}{-7} \)
c < -\(\frac{5}{7}\)


5

If side x = 11cm, side y = 14cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
26cm
30cm
35cm
29cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 11cm + 14cm + 5cm = 30cm
