1

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary


Solution

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).


2

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

69% Answer Correctly

right angle

parallel

equal angle

equal length


Solution

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


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -3) and (2, 7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
-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, -3) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (-3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

Solve for c:
4c + 7 > 4 - 5c

54% Answer Correctly
c > 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
c > -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
c > 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
c > -\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

4c + 7 > 4 - 5c
4c > 4 - 5c - 7
4c + 5c > 4 - 7
9c > -3
c > \( \frac{-3}{9} \)
c > -\(\frac{1}{3}\)


5

Find the value of a:
-2a + z = 4
6a + 6z = 3

41% Answer Correctly
25
1
-1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
-9

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-2a + z = 4
z = 4 + 2a

then substitute the result (4 - -2a) into the second equation:

6a + 6(4 + 2a) = 3
6a + (6 x 4) + (6 x 2a) = 3
6a + 24 + 12a = 3
6a + 12a = 3 - 24
18a = -21
a = \( \frac{-21}{18} \)
a = -1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
