1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -5) and (2, 5). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4

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 0. 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, -5) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (-5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0

Simplify (3a)(5ab) + (6a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
-21a2b
51a2b
21a2b
96ab2

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.

(3a)(5ab) + (6a2)(6b)
(3 x 5)(a x a x b) + (6 x 6)(a2 x b)
(15)(a1+1 x b) + (36)(a2b)
15a2b + 36a2b
51a2b


3

If angle a = 41° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
112°
142°
139°
117°

Solution

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° - 41° - 39° = 100°

So, d° = 39° + 100° = 139°

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° - 41° = 139°

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

chord

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 4, c = 6, d = 9, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
19\(\frac{1}{2}\)
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
10
5

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(4 + 9)(3)
a = ½(13)(3)
a = ½(39) = \( \frac{39}{2} \)
a = 19\(\frac{1}{2}\)
