1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x - 1
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
y = 2x - 3
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1

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

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2


2

Solve for c:
c2 - 4c - 12 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
6 or 4
1 or -3
8 or 1
-2 or 6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - 4c - 12 = 0
(c + 2)(c - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 2) or (c - 6) must equal zero:

If (c + 2) = 0, c must equal -2
If (c - 6) = 0, c must equal 6

So the solution is that c = -2 or 6


3

Simplify (3a)(2ab) + (3a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
12ab2
12a2b
25ab2
2b

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.

(3a)(2ab) + (3a2)(2b)
(3 x 2)(a x a x b) + (3 x 2)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) + (6)(a2b)
6a2b + 6a2b
12a2b


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

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

76% Answer Correctly

formula

expression

equation

problem


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.
