1

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

46% Answer Correctly
3
-1
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
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, -2) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

If a = 4, b = 3, c = 5, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
22
12
27
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 3 + 5 + 6
p = 18


3

What is 3a6 - 6a6?

73% Answer Correctly
-3a6
9a12
9
18a6

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.

3a6 - 6a6 = -3a6


4

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 3, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
56
66
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
39

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 3 = \( \frac{3}{2} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

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

88% Answer Correctly

division

addition

pairs

exponents


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.)
