1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -10). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 -4. 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, 2) and (2, -10) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-10.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -3x - 4


2

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

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

quadrilateral

triangle

rhombus


Solution

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


3

If AD = 21 and BD = 15, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
16
19
13
6

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 = 21 - 15
AB = 6


4

If c = -9 and z = -4, what is the value of 9c(c - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
-455
35
405
-546

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

9c(c - z)
9(-9)(-9 + 4)
9(-9)(-5)
(-81)(-5)
405

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

52% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
