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

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

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

x-intercept


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.


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

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

41% Answer Correctly
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = -2x - 3
y = x + 0
y = 3x + 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 0. 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, 2) so the slope becomes:

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

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x + 0


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

4

2

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

If angle a = 52° and angle b = 29° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
99°
73°
95°
76°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 52° - 29° = 99°
