1

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

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


2

If side x = 13cm, side y = 7cm, and side z = 15cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
35cm
29cm
33cm
37cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 7cm + 15cm = 35cm


3

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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

quadratic

monomial

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


5

Solve -7c - 2c = -5c + 7y + 2 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
7y + 2
-2\(\frac{1}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 1

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.

-7c - 2y = -5c + 7y + 2
-7c = -5c + 7y + 2 + 2y
-7c + 5c = 7y + 2 + 2y
-2c = 9y + 2
c = \( \frac{9y + 2}{-2} \)
c = \( \frac{9y}{-2} \) + \( \frac{2}{-2} \)
c = -4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 1
