1

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

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3

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

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

Find the value of a:
-4a + y = 8
8a - 6y = -8

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{2}{11}\)
-54
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

-4a + y = 8
y = 8 + 4a

then substitute the result (8 - -4a) into the second equation:

8a - 6(8 + 4a) = -8
8a + (-6 x 8) + (-6 x 4a) = -8
8a - 48 - 24a = -8
8a - 24a = -8 + 48
-16a = 40
a = \( \frac{40}{-16} \)
a = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

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

supplementary, vertical

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).
