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

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

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

x-intercept


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

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

4

3

5


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

If angle a = 22° and angle b = 25° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
115°
158°
111°
152°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 22° - 25° = 133°

So, d° = 25° + 133° = 158°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 22° = 158°


4

If side x = 9cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 11cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
35cm
26cm
36cm
27cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 15cm + 11cm = 35cm


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
208
318
160
64

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 4 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 2) + (2 x 4 x 2)
sa = (32) + (16) + (16)
sa = 64
