1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, 0). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2x + 2
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = 3x + 1
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4

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 1. 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, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

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


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
256π
9π
4π
576π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 9)
v = 9π


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 9, c = 9, d = 3, and h = 5. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
30
9
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
24

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(9 + 3)(5)
a = ½(12)(5)
a = ½(60) = \( \frac{60}{2} \)
a = 30


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

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).


5

Simplify (y - 3)(y + 5)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 + 8y + 15
y2 + 2y - 15
y2 - 2y - 15
y2 - 8y + 15

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 3)(y + 5)
(y x y) + (y x 5) + (-3 x y) + (-3 x 5)
y2 + 5y - 3y - 15
y2 + 2y - 15
