The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -7). What is the slope of this line?
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -2 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -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, 1) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)If angle a = 27° and angle b = 59° what is the length of angle d?
| 155° | |
| 123° | |
| 153° | |
| 116° |
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:
d° = b° + c°
To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 27° - 59° = 94°
So, d° = 59° + 94° = 153°
A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:
a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 27° = 153°
The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):
sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 5 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 3) + (2 x 5 x 3)
sa = (60) + (36) + (30)
sa = 126
Simplify (3a)(2ab) + (7a2)(4b).
| 22a2b | |
| -22a2b | |
| 34a2b | |
| 55ab2 |
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.
(3a)(2ab) + (7a2)(4b)
(3 x 2)(a x a x b) + (7 x 4)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) + (28)(a2b)
6a2b + 28a2b
34a2b
Solve for x:
x2 + 3x + 4 = -4x - 2
| 6 or -9 | |
| 8 or 6 | |
| -1 or -6 | |
| 9 or 1 |
The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:
x2 + 3x + 4 = -4x - 2
x2 + 3x + 4 + 2 = -4x
x2 + 3x + 4x + 6 = 0
x2 + 7x + 6 = 0
Next, factor the quadratic equation:
x2 + 7x + 6 = 0
(x + 1)(x + 6) = 0
For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 1) or (x + 6) must equal zero:
If (x + 1) = 0, x must equal -1
If (x + 6) = 0, x must equal -6
So the solution is that x = -1 or -6
