1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 5). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, 1) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1


2

Simplify 4a x 4b.

85% Answer Correctly
16\( \frac{a}{b} \)
16a2b2
8ab
16ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

4a x 4b = (4 x 4) (a x b) = 16ab


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 2?

70% Answer Correctly
1π
4π
5π
12π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 2)
c = 4π


4

Solve for y:
-3y + 5 = 8 + 5y

58% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{3}{8}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-3y + 5 = 8 + 5y
-3y = 8 + 5y - 5
-3y - 5y = 8 - 5
-8y = 3
y = \( \frac{3}{-8} \)
y = -\(\frac{3}{8}\)


5

Find the value of b:
5b + x = 2
-3b + 3x = -9

41% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{19}\)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
1\(\frac{2}{11}\)
-2\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of x:

5b + x = 2
x = 2 - 5b

then substitute the result (2 - 5b) into the second equation:

-3b + 3(2 - 5b) = -9
-3b + (3 x 2) + (3 x -5b) = -9
-3b + 6 - 15b = -9
-3b - 15b = -9 - 6
-18b = -15
b = \( \frac{-15}{-18} \)
b = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
