Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept

x-intercept

slope


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


2

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

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h


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

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

77% Answer Correctly

expression

problem

equation

formula


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 3, c = 8, d = 5, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
16
24
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32

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(3 + 5)(4)
a = ½(8)(4)
a = ½(32) = \( \frac{32}{2} \)
a = 16


5

If side a = 5, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{29} \)
\( \sqrt{34} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 22
c2 = 25 + 4
c2 = 29
c = \( \sqrt{29} \)
