- A.
Y=2x+2
- B.
Y - 2 = 2(x - 1)
- C.
2x+y=2
Correct Answer
B. Y - 2 = 2(x - 1)Explanation
The point-slope form of a linear equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line. In this case, m = 2 and (x1, y1) = (1, 2). Substituting these values into the point-slope form, we get:
y - 2 = 2(x - 1)Rate this question:

State the domain and the range of the relation. Then tell weather or not it is a function.{(-3, 0) (3,0) (5, -3) (0,3) (3, 3) (3,7)}
Correct Answer
Domain: -3, 3, 5, 0 Range: 0, -3, 3, 3, 7 Relation? No
Domain: -3, 3, 5, 0, 3, 3 Range: 0, 0, -3, 3, 3, 7 Relation? NoExplanation
The given relation consists of multiple ordered pairs, where each input (x-value) is paired with a corresponding output (y-value). The domain of the relation is the set of all distinct x-values, which in this case are -3, 3, 5, and 0. The range of the relation is the set of all distinct y-values, which are 0, -3, 3, and 7. However, since there are repeated x-values paired with different y-values (-3 and 3), the relation is not a function.Rate this question:

Find the value of x so that the line that passes through the points (-8, 4) and (x, 9) has slope m= 2/5.
Correct Answer
x= 9/2Explanation
To find the value of x, we can use the formula for calculating the slope of a line, which is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Given that the slope is 2/5 and one point on the line is (-8, 4), we can substitute these values into the formula. Solving for x, we get x = 9/2. Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the given conditions is 9/2.Rate this question:

What is the standard form of an equation of the line that passes through the points (3,0) and (6, -8)?
- A.
8x+3y=24
- B.
Y= -8/3x+8
- C.
3x+8y=64
Correct Answer
A. 8x+3y=24Explanation
The standard form of an equation of a line is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants. To find the equation of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula (y - y1) = m(x - x1), where m is the slope of the line and (x1, y1) are the coordinates of one of the points.
Using the points (3,0) and (6,-8), we can calculate the slope as m = (-8 - 0) / (6 - 3) = -8/3.
Substituting the slope and one of the points into the formula, we get (y - 0) = (-8/3)(x - 3), which simplifies to y = -8/3x + 8.
To convert this to standard form, we multiply through by 3 to eliminate the fraction, resulting in 3y = -8x + 24. Rearranging the terms, we get 8x + 3y = 24, which matches the given answer.Rate this question:

Solve. (absolute value of y-2) < 3
- A.
Y-1
- B.
Y
Correct Answer
A. Y-1Explanation
The correct answer is y-1. To solve the inequality (absolute value of y-2) < 3, we can split it into two cases: when y-2 is positive and when y-2 is negative.
When y-2 is positive, the inequality becomes y-2 < 3, which simplifies to y < 5.
When y-2 is negative, the inequality becomes -(y-2) < 3, which simplifies to -y+2 < 3. Solving for y, we get y > -1.
Combining both cases, we find that the solution is -1 < y < 5. However, the question only asks for the value of y-1, so the correct answer is y-1.Rate this question:

R>3 or r
- B.
R-1
- C.
R>3 or r>-1
- D.
R>3 and r>-1
Correct Answer
C. R>3 or r>-1Explanation
The correct answer is r>3 or r>-1. The given inequality can be solved by solving each inequality separately and then combining the results using the "or" operator. For the first inequality, 4r-5>7, we can add 5 to both sides and divide by 4 to get r>3. For the second inequality, 4r-5-1. Therefore, the solution is r>3 or r>-1.Rate this question:

Simplify. [(4y+2y)-(7y-y)]+8
Correct Answer
7y+1Explanation
The given expression can be simplified by combining like terms. First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses by subtracting y from 7y, which gives us 6y. Then, we combine the terms outside the parentheses by adding 4y and 2y, which gives us 6y. Adding 6y and 6y gives us 12y. Finally, we add 12y to 8, which gives us 12y+8. Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is 12y+8.Rate this question:

What is the definition of parallel lines?
- A.
1. the two slopes cannot equal each other. 2. the y-intercepts must equal each other.
- B.
Everthing must equal -1
- C.
Everything must equal 0
- D.
1. the first slope must equal the second slope. 2. the y-intercepts cannot equal each other.
Correct Answer
D. 1. the first slope must equal the second slope. 2. the y-intercepts cannot equal each other.Explanation
Parallel lines are defined as lines that are always the same distance apart and will never intersect. The first slope must equal the second slope because if the slopes are different, the lines will have different steepness and will eventually intersect. On the other hand, the y-intercepts cannot equal each other because if they do, the lines will coincide and will not be parallel. Therefore, the correct answer is that the first slope must equal the second slope and the y-intercepts cannot equal each other.Rate this question:

The corner of a rectangle is made up of two angles. The measure of one angle is 10 degrees more than three times the measure of the other. What are the measures of the two angles? (Hint: recall the degree measure of the corner of a rectangle.)
Correct Answer
Corner x= 20 Corner y=70Explanation
The corner of a rectangle is formed by two adjacent sides. Let's assume that one angle is x degrees and the other angle is y degrees. According to the given information, the measure of one angle (x) is 10 degrees more than three times the measure of the other angle (y). Mathematically, this can be represented as x = 3y + 10.
Since the corner of a rectangle is a right angle, the sum of the two angles is 90 degrees. So, we can write another equation as x + y = 90.
Now, we have a system of two equations:
x = 3y + 10
x + y = 90
By solving these equations simultaneously, we find that x = 20 and y = 70. Therefore, the measures of the two angles are 20 degrees and 70 degrees.Rate this question:

A Culture of bacteria has 20 cells. Each cell divides to form 2 cells every half hour. How many cells are there after 4 hours?
Correct Answer
5,120Explanation
Starting with 20 cells, each cell divides into 2 cells every half hour. After 1 hour, there will be 40 cells. After 2 hours, there will be 80 cells. After 3 hours, there will be 160 cells. Finally, after 4 hours, there will be 320 cells. However, since each cell divides into 2 cells, this process can be represented as exponential growth. Using the formula 20 * 2^(hours/0.5), we can calculate that after 4 hours, there will be 5,120 cells.Rate this question:
