Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

y-intercept


Solution

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.


2

If AD = 13 and BD = 11, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
14
2
10
4

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 = 13 - 11
AB = 2


3

What is 3a - 7a?

79% Answer Correctly
-4a
10
a2
21a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a - 7a = -4a


4

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

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary


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).

Solve for y:
3y + 2 > \( \frac{y}{3} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > -\(\frac{3}{4}\)
y > 4
y > 1\(\frac{1}{47}\)
y > \(\frac{18}{35}\)

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.

3y + 2 > \( \frac{y}{3} \)
3 x (3y + 2) > y
(3 x 3y) + (3 x 2) > y
9y + 6 > y
9y + 6 - y > 0
9y - y > -6
8y > -6
y > \( \frac{-6}{8} \)
y > -\(\frac{3}{4}\)
