1

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

x-axis

y-axis

all of these

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

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

right angle

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

Simplify (y + 6)(y - 6)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 12y + 36
y2 + 12y + 36
y2 - 36
59

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 6)(y - 6)
(y x y) + (y x -6) + (6 x y) + (6 x -6)
y2 - 6y + 6y - 36
y2 - 36


4

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

46% Answer Correctly
2
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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, -4) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


5

What is 3a2 - 4a2?

74% Answer Correctly
-a4
-1a2
12a4
-1

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.

3a2 - 4a2 = -1a2
