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

42% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

y-intercept

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

slope


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

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
75
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
35
42

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 1 = \( \frac{5}{2} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
192π
72π
30π
252π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 2)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(6)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 6)π
sa = 18π + 12π
sa = 30π


5

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

intersects

midpoints

bisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
