1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 7). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, 1) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Solve 6b - 3b = 2b - 3x - 1 for b in terms of x.

35% Answer Correctly
3x + 6
\(\frac{1}{17}\)x + \(\frac{3}{17}\)
x - \(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1

Solution

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

6b - 3x = 2b - 3x - 1
6b = 2b - 3x - 1 + 3x
6b - 2b = -3x - 1 + 3x
4b = - 1
b = \( \frac{ - 1}{4} \)
b = \( \frac{}{4} \) + \( \frac{-1}{4} \)
b = x - \(\frac{1}{4}\)


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

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

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh


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.


5

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.
