Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
x-intercept |
|
slope |
|
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
|
y-intercept |
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.
When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).
supplementary, vertical |
|
vertical, supplementary |
|
obtuse, acute |
|
acute, obtuse |
Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.
expression |
|
formula |
|
problem |
|
equation |
An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.
bisects |
|
trisects |
|
midpoints |
|
intersects |
A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
What is 6a - 7a?
| 42a2 | |
| 13a2 | |
| -1a | |
| a2 |
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.
6a - 7a = -1a
