1

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

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

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

What is 8a - 5a?

80% Answer Correctly
40a2
3a2
3
3a

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.

8a - 5a = 3a


4

What is 2a8 + 3a8?

75% Answer Correctly
5a16
-1
5a8
-a16

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.

2a8 + 3a8 = 5a8


5

If a = c = 2, b = d = 4, and the blue angle = 70°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
2
72
28
8

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 4
a = 8
