1

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

61% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical


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

Solve 5c - 4c = c + 2z + 4 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
z + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{15}\)z + \(\frac{2}{15}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)z - 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)z + 1

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

5c - 4z = c + 2z + 4
5c = c + 2z + 4 + 4z
5c - c = 2z + 4 + 4z
4c = 6z + 4
c = \( \frac{6z + 4}{4} \)
c = \( \frac{6z}{4} \) + \( \frac{4}{4} \)
c = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)z + 1


3

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

radius

diameter


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 = -2x - 1
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = -x + 4
y = -2x + 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

If a = c = 9, b = d = 10, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
40
1
3
90

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 10
a = 90
