Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
slope |
|
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
|
x-intercept |
|
y-intercept |
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 expressions contains exactly two terms?
monomial |
|
quadratic |
|
polynomial |
|
binomial |
A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
|
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
|
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -9). What is the slope of this line?
| -2\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -2 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
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, -9) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-9.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?
all of these |
|
y-axis |
|
x-axis |
|
origin |
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.
