1

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

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x - 2
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3

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

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

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


2

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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 6, c = 7, d = 2, and h = 5. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
20
10
25
15

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(6 + 2)(5)
a = ½(8)(5)
a = ½(40) = \( \frac{40}{2} \)
a = 20


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

70% Answer Correctly
25π
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


5

Simplify (5a)(7ab) - (3a2)(5b).

62% Answer Correctly
20a2b
50ab2
50a2b
-20ab2

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.

(5a)(7ab) - (3a2)(5b)
(5 x 7)(a x a x b) - (3 x 5)(a2 x b)
(35)(a1+1 x b) - (15)(a2b)
35a2b - 15a2b
20a2b
