The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, -2). What is the slope of this line?
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -3 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
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, 0) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?
binomial |
|
quadratic |
|
monomial |
|
polynomial |
A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?
2lw x 2wh + 2lh |
|
h x l x w |
|
lw x wh + lh |
|
h2 x l2 x w2 |
A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
slope |
|
y-intercept |
|
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
|
x-intercept |
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.

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.
