1

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

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

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

What is 8a - 8a?

80% Answer Correctly
0a
64a
64a2
a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

8a - 8a = 0a


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

x-axis

origin

y-axis

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

Solve for c:
3c - 9 = \( \frac{c}{3} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{6}{11}\)
-\(\frac{15}{26}\)
\(\frac{16}{27}\)
3\(\frac{3}{8}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

3c - 9 = \( \frac{c}{3} \)
3 x (3c - 9) = c
(3 x 3c) + (3 x -9) = c
9c - 27 = c
9c - 27 - c = 0
9c - c = 27
8c = 27
c = \( \frac{27}{8} \)
c = 3\(\frac{3}{8}\)
