A car drives 50 miles east and then 40 miles due north. How far is it from where it started?
- A.
54 miles
- B.
64 miles
- C.
74 miles
- D.
84 miles
Correct Answer
B. 64 milesExplanation
The car first drives 50 miles east and then 40 miles north. These two distances form the legs of a right triangle, with the starting point as the right angle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the hypotenuse of this triangle, which represents the distance from where the car started. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Therefore, the square of the distance is (50^2 + 40^2), which is 2500 + 1600 = 4100. Taking the square root of 4100 gives us approximately 64 miles.Rate this question:

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through the point (5 , 2) and is parallel to the line y = -3x - 4
- A.
Y = -3x + 17
- B.
Y = 3x + 17
- C.
Y = -3x + 15
- D.
Y = -3x - 17
Correct Answer
A. Y = -3x + 17Explanation
The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, the line is parallel to y = -3x - 4, so it has the same slope of -3. The point (5, 2) lies on the line, so we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the y-intercept. Plugging in 5 for x and 2 for y, we get 2 = -3(5) + b. Solving for b, we find that b = 17. Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -3x + 17.Rate this question:

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2 , 4) and is perpendicular to the line y = 9x + 3
- A.
Y = -9x + 22
- B.
Y = 9x - 22
- C.
Y = 9x + 22
- D.
Y = -9x - 22
Correct Answer
C. Y = 9x + 22Explanation
The given equation y = 9x + 3 represents a line with a slope of 9. Since the line we are looking for is perpendicular to this line, its slope will be the negative reciprocal of 9, which is -1/9.
Using the point-slope form of a linear equation, we can substitute the slope (-1/9) and the coordinates of the given point (-2, 4) into the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1).
Plugging in the values, we get y - 4 = (-1/9)(x - (-2)). Simplifying this equation gives us y - 4 = (-1/9)(x + 2).
To convert this equation into the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we can distribute (-1/9) and rearrange the equation to isolate y.
After simplifying, we obtain y = 9x + 22.Rate this question:

- B.
(28, 40)
- C.
(22, -28)
- D.
(10, 50)
Correct Answer
B. (28, 40)Explanation
The correct answer is (28, 40) because when we substitute the values of x and y into the two equations, they satisfy both equations. For the first equation, if we substitute x = 28 and y = 40, we get 40 = 28 + 12, which is true. For the second equation, if we substitute x = 28 and y = 40, we get 2(28) - 40 = 56 - 40 = 16, which is also true. Therefore, (28, 40) is the solution to the system of equations.Rate this question:

Solve the system of equations. x - 5y = 6 -9x -5y = -4
- A.
(1, -1)
- B.
(-1, 1)
- C.
(1, 1)
- D.
(2, -1)
Correct Answer
A. (1, -1)Explanation
The correct answer is (1, -1). This means that when we substitute x = 1 and y = -1 into both equations, both equations are satisfied. This can be verified by substituting these values into the original equations:
For the first equation, x - 5y = 6, we have 1 - 5(-1) = 1 + 5 = 6, which is true.
For the second equation, -9x - 5y = -4, we have -9(1) - 5(-1) = -9 - (-5) = -9 + 5 = -4, which is also true.
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (1, -1).Rate this question:

- A.
$5, $8
- B.
$7, $10
- C.
$10, $15
- D.
$6, $7
Correct Answer
D. $6, $7Explanation
On the first day, the school sold 8 senior citizen tickets and 6 student tickets for a total of $80. Let's assume the price of a senior citizen ticket is x and the price of a student ticket is y. So, we can form the equation 8x + 6y = 80.
On the second day, the school sold 11 senior citizen tickets and 6 student tickets for a total of $101. Using the same variables, we can form the equation 11x + 6y = 101.
Now we have a system of equations:
8x + 6y = 80
11x + 6y = 101
By solving this system of equations, we find that x = 6 and y = 7. Therefore, the price of a senior citizen ticket is $6 and the price of a student ticket is $7.Rate this question:
