1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -3) and (2, 5). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2x + 1
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = x - 3
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0

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, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (-3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x + 1


2

Simplify 6a x 3b.

86% Answer Correctly
18\( \frac{a}{b} \)
18ab
9ab
18\( \frac{b}{a} \)

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

6a x 3b = (6 x 3) (a x b) = 18ab


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-3
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, -1) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2
