On this circle, line segment AB is the:

72% Answer Correctly

chord

diameter

radius

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).


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -9). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
-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, -9) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-9.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3


3

Solve for y:
-3y + 1 > \( \frac{y}{-9} \)

45% Answer Correctly
y > \(\frac{9}{26}\)
y > 3\(\frac{3}{5}\)
y > 1\(\frac{13}{23}\)
y > -14

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.

-3y + 1 > \( \frac{y}{-9} \)
-9 x (-3y + 1) > y
(-9 x -3y) + (-9 x 1) > y
27y - 9 > y
27y - 9 - y > 0
27y - y > 9
26y > 9
y > \( \frac{9}{26} \)
y > \(\frac{9}{26}\)


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% 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.


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

3

4

2


Solution

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