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

42% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

slope

y-intercept

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


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.

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
70π
40π
14π
66π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 8)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(24)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 24)π
sa = 18π + 48π
sa = 66π


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

equal length

right angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

If AD = 17 and BD = 13, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
19
13
4
17

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 = 17 - 13
AB = 4


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
-1
2
1

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, 0) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1
