1

If angle a = 28° and angle b = 36° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
103°
74°
121°
116°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 28° - 36° = 116°


2

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

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

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, 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


3

Factor y2 - 2y - 8

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 4)(y + 2)
(y - 4)(y + 2)
(y - 4)(y - 2)
(y + 4)(y - 2)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -8 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -2. For this problem, those two numbers are -4 and 2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 2y - 8
y2 + (-4 + 2)y + (-4 x 2)
(y - 4)(y + 2)


4

If a = 7, b = 7, c = 2, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
17
20
14
21

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 7 + 2 + 5
p = 21


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

x-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

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.
