1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 8) and (2, -4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = x - 4
y = -x + 1
y = -3x + 2
y = 3x + 0

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 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, 8) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (8.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -3x + 2


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
252
175
504
14

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 9 x 7 x 4
v = 252


3

If AD = 20 and BD = 10, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
18
10
11
17

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 = 20 - 10
AB = 10


4

Solve for c:
c + 9 < 2 - c

55% Answer Correctly
c < 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
c < -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
c < -\(\frac{3}{5}\)
c < -1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

c + 9 < 2 - c
c < 2 - c - 9
c + c < 2 - 9
2c < -7
c < \( \frac{-7}{2} \)
c < -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π r

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
