1

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% Answer Correctly

all of these

y-axis

x-axis

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

If angle a = 35° and angle b = 42° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
82°
51°
91°
103°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 35° - 42° = 103°


4

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

42% Answer Correctly

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

slope

y-intercept

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.

Solve for a:
2a - 4 > -7 - 5a

55% Answer Correctly
a > -\(\frac{3}{7}\)
a > \(\frac{2}{3}\)
a > 1
a > 7

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

2a - 4 > -7 - 5a
2a > -7 - 5a + 4
2a + 5a > -7 + 4
7a > -3
a > \( \frac{-3}{7} \)
a > -\(\frac{3}{7}\)
