1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 4) and (2, 2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3

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, 4) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 6. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
9
54
120
216

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 6 x 6
v = 216


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
162
158
42
232

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 8 x 3) + (2 x 3 x 5) + (2 x 8 x 5)
sa = (48) + (30) + (80)
sa = 158


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 9, c = 7, d = 4, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
5
28
26
19\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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(9 + 4)(3)
a = ½(13)(3)
a = ½(39) = \( \frac{39}{2} \)
a = 19\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

What is 2a6 - 2a6?

74% Answer Correctly
0a6
4
12
4a12

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a6 - 2a6 = 0a6
