1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 8) and (2, -2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-3
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3

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, 8) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (8.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Simplify (y + 8)(y - 5)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 13y + 40
y2 + 13y + 40
y2 - 3y - 40
y2 + 3y - 40

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 8)(y - 5)
(y x y) + (y x -5) + (8 x y) + (8 x -5)
y2 - 5y + 8y - 40
y2 + 3y - 40


3

Find the value of c:
-9c + y = 1
-6c + 8y = 2

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{26}{29}\)
-\(\frac{1}{11}\)
2\(\frac{5}{6}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{10}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of y:

-9c + y = 1
y = 1 + 9c

then substitute the result (1 - -9c) into the second equation:

-6c + 8(1 + 9c) = 2
-6c + (8 x 1) + (8 x 9c) = 2
-6c + 8 + 72c = 2
-6c + 72c = 2 - 8
66c = -6
c = \( \frac{-6}{66} \)
c = -\(\frac{1}{11}\)


4

If side x = 12cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
33cm
35cm
32cm
40cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 11cm + 10cm = 33cm


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
72
27
64
16

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 8 x 1
v = 16
