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

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

x-intercept

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

slope


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.

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

If BD = 15 and AD = 24, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
9
6
3
1

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 24 - 15
AB = 9


4

If a = c = 1, b = d = 3, and the blue angle = 53°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
3
6
4
81

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 3
a = 3


5

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 7, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
33
58\(\frac{1}{2}\)
45
21

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 7 = \( \frac{42}{2} \) = 21
