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

42% Answer Correctly

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

x-intercept

y-intercept

slope


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

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π d2


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

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

diameter

circumference


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, 2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 -2. 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, -6) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x - 2


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
112π
140π
40π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 1)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(7)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 7)π
sa = 98π + 14π
sa = 112π
