1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -8). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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, -8) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-8.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
54π
441π
343π
48π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 3)
v = 48π


3

Solve -4c + 4c = 6c + 2y - 6 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + \(\frac{7}{8}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{5}{6}\)
-2\(\frac{3}{5}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)y + \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-4c + 4y = 6c + 2y - 6
-4c = 6c + 2y - 6 - 4y
-4c - 6c = 2y - 6 - 4y
-10c = -2y - 6
c = \( \frac{-2y - 6}{-10} \)
c = \( \frac{-2y}{-10} \) + \( \frac{-6}{-10} \)
c = \(\frac{1}{5}\)y + \(\frac{3}{5}\)


4

Solve for a:
-5a - 1 = \( \frac{a}{2} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{19}{29}\)
-1
-\(\frac{2}{11}\)
-\(\frac{32}{41}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-5a - 1 = \( \frac{a}{2} \)
2 x (-5a - 1) = a
(2 x -5a) + (2 x -1) = a
-10a - 2 = a
-10a - 2 - a = 0
-10a - a = 2
-11a = 2
a = \( \frac{2}{-11} \)
a = -\(\frac{2}{11}\)


5

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
