Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
y-intercept |
|
x-intercept |
|
slope |
|
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
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.
On this circle, line segment AB is the:
diameter |
|
radius |
|
circumference |
|
chord |
A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?
you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
|
you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
|
you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents |
|
all of these statements are correct |
You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
| y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2 | |
| y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1 | |
| y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4 | |
| y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0 |
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 0. 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, -3) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
If side x = 7cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 14cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?
| 27cm | |
| 35cm | |
| 33cm | |
| 32cm |
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:
p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 11cm + 14cm = 32cm
