1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x - 1
y = x + 2
y = 2x - 4
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2

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, -7) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2


2

Simplify (2a)(3ab) - (9a2)(9b).

62% Answer Correctly
90ab2
-75a2b
75ab2
87a2b

Solution

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.

(2a)(3ab) - (9a2)(9b)
(2 x 3)(a x a x b) - (9 x 9)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) - (81)(a2b)
6a2b - 81a2b
-75a2b


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 9, c = 6, d = 7, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
22
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32
16

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(9 + 7)(4)
a = ½(16)(4)
a = ½(64) = \( \frac{64}{2} \)
a = 32


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
24π
20π
112π
18π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 1)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(7)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 7)π
sa = 98π + 14π
sa = 112π


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
