1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -8) and (2, 0). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2x - 4
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = 2x + 0
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 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 -4. 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, -8) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (-8.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x - 4


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

exponents

division

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π d

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

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
