1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 5). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Solve -c - 6c = -3c + 8x + 8 for c in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
7x + 4
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - \(\frac{2}{9}\)
1\(\frac{5}{8}\)x - \(\frac{5}{8}\)
\(\frac{3}{5}\)x + 1

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-c - 6x = -3c + 8x + 8
-c = -3c + 8x + 8 + 6x
-c + 3c = 8x + 8 + 6x
2c = 14x + 8
c = \( \frac{14x + 8}{2} \)
c = \( \frac{14x}{2} \) + \( \frac{8}{2} \)
c = 7x + 4


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 - a2

a2 - c2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
72π
192π
20π
324π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 3)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(6)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 6)π
sa = 8π + 12π
sa = 20π


5

If a = c = 8, b = d = 7, and the blue angle = 70°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
56
40
9
12

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 7
a = 56
