1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 2. 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, 6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x + 2


2

What is 9a8 + 6a8?

75% Answer Correctly
54a8
3a16
15a8
54a16

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.

9a8 + 6a8 = 15a8


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

addition

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


4

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 9, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
36
50
28
30

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 9 = \( \frac{72}{2} \) = 36


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
