The point (-7, 4) is reflected over the line x = -3. Then the resulting point is reflected over the line y = x. Where is the point located after both reflections?
- A.
(−10, −7)
- B.
(1, 4)
- C.
(4, −7)
- D.
(4, 1)
Correct Answer
D. (4, 1)Explanation
The point (-7, 4) is first reflected over the vertical line x = -3. This means that the x-coordinate of the point remains the same, but the sign of the y-coordinate is flipped. So, the point becomes (-7, -4).
Next, this new point is reflected over the line y = x. This means that the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are swapped. So, the final point becomes (-4, -7).
However, none of the given answer choices match this final point. Therefore, the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:

Parallelogram ABCD is graphed on the coordinate plain below: What are the coordinates of point C?
- A.
( x , y )
- B.
( y , x + z )
- C.
( x + z , y )
- D.
( x − z , y )
Correct Answer
C. ( x + z , y )Explanation
The coordinates of point C in the parallelogram ABCD are (x + z, y). This can be determined by observing that the x-coordinate of point C is obtained by adding z to the x-coordinate of point A, while the y-coordinate of point C remains the same as the y-coordinate of point A. Therefore, the correct answer is (x + z, y).Rate this question:

A network of electrical wires will be constructed so that each of the six points on the board is directly connected to each other by a piece of wire. The diagram shows the board with points A, B, C, D, E and F. How many pieces of wire are needed to make the network?
- A.
6
- B.
10
- C.
15
- D.
30
Correct Answer
C. 15Explanation
To connect each of the six points on the board directly to each other, we need to draw a wire between every pair of points. Since there are six points, we need to determine the number of ways to choose 2 points out of 6, which is given by the formula 6C2 = 6! / (2! * 4!) = 15. Therefore, 15 pieces of wire are needed to make the network.Rate this question:

The table shows prices for different numbers of pencils. The price continues to increase in this pattern. Which equation models this situation?
- A.
Y = 0.12 x
- B.
Y = 0.6 x
- C.
Y = 0.12 x + 5
- D.
Y = 0.6 x + 5
Correct Answer
A. Y = 0.12 xExplanation
The equation y = 0.12x models this situation because it represents a linear relationship between the number of pencils (x) and the price (y). The slope of 0.12 indicates that for every increase of 1 in the number of pencils, the price increases by 0.12. This is consistent with the given pattern of the price continuing to increase.Rate this question:

Given the diagram below, what information is needed to prove that the lines are parallel?
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
Correct Answer
D. DExplanation
To prove that the lines are parallel, we need to know if angle A is congruent to angle D or if angle B is congruent to angle C. This is because if the alternate interior angles or corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. However, without this information, we cannot determine if the lines are parallel.Rate this question:

Kristina plots a triangle with vertices (-2, 3) (0, 0) and (6, 4) on a coordinate plane. If each unit on the coordinate plane represents one meter (m), what is the perimiter of her triangle, to the nearest tenth of a meter?
- A.
11.6 m
- B.
15.3 m
- C.
18.9 m
- D.
22.8 m
Correct Answer
C. 18.9 mExplanation
To find the perimeter of a triangle, we need to calculate the distance between each pair of vertices and then sum them up.
Using the distance formula, we can find the distance between (-2, 3) and (0, 0) as follows:
d1 = √[(0 - (-2))^2 + (0 - 3)^2] = √[2^2 + 3^2] = √(4 + 9) = √13
Similarly, the distance between (0, 0) and (6, 4) can be found as:
d2 = √[(6 - 0)^2 + (4 - 0)^2] = √[6^2 + 4^2] = √(36 + 16) = √52
Lastly, the distance between (6, 4) and (-2, 3) can be calculated as:
d3 = √[(-2 - 6)^2 + (3 - 4)^2] = √[(-8)^2 + (-1)^2] = √(64 + 1) = √65
Now, we can find the perimeter by summing up all the distances:
Perimeter = d1 + d2 + d3 = √13 + √52 + √65 ≈ 18.9 m
Therefore, the correct answer is 18.9 m.Rate this question:

Scalene
Correct Answer
D. ScaleneExplanation
The term "scalene" refers to a type of triangle where all three sides have different lengths. This is the only option among the given choices that describes a triangle with sides of varying lengths. Equilateral triangles have all sides of equal length, isosceles triangles have two sides of equal length, and right triangles have one angle measuring 90 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is "scalene."Rate this question:

A family invested $2,000 into an account that pays 2% interest compounded annually. In the functions below, x = time in years and y = total amount in the account after x years. y = 40x + 2,000 y = 2,000 (1.02)X Use the function that models the situation correctly. To the nearest dollar, how much money is in the family's account after 5 years?
- A.
$2,081
- B.
$2,200
- C.
$2,208
- D.
$10,200
Correct Answer
C. $2,208Explanation
The correct answer is $2,208. This can be determined by using the function that models the situation correctly, which is y = 2,000 (1.02)^x. Plugging in x = 5, we get y = 2,000 (1.02)^5 = 2,000 * 1.10408 = 2,208. Therefore, after 5 years, there will be $2,208 in the family's account.Rate this question:

![Geometry Hour 4-part 2 - Quiz]()
Correct Answer
B.Explanation
The distance between the two students can be found by calculating the horizontal and vertical distances separately and then using the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse. Student A walked 7 units east and 5 units south, so the horizontal distance is 7 units and the vertical distance is 5 units. Student B walked 4 units west and 1 unit south, so the horizontal distance is 4 units and the vertical distance is 1 unit. Adding the horizontal distances together (7 + 4 = 11) and the vertical distances together (5 + 1 = 6), we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse: √(11^2 + 6^2) = √(121 + 36) = √157. Therefore, the students are √157 units apart.Rate this question:

A. AExplanation
The shape formed by the given vertices is a triangle. To find the area of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle which is 1/2 * base * height. The base of the triangle is the distance between the points (3, 1) and (3, 7), which is 6 units. The height of the triangle is the distance between the points (0, 4) and (6, 4), which is also 6 units. Therefore, the area of the triangle is 1/2 * 6 * 6 = 18 cm2.Rate this question:

A company makes sealed metal water tanks as shown below. To the nearest square meter, how much sheet metal does the company need to make one tank? A. 314 m2 B. 471 m 2 C. 785 m 2 D. 942 m 2
- A.

Correct Answer
B. BExplanation
To calculate the amount of sheet metal needed to make one tank, we need to find the surface area of the tank. The tank consists of a cylindrical part and two circular ends. The surface area of the cylindrical part can be calculated using the formula A = 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height. The surface area of the two circular ends can be calculated using the formula A = πr^2. Adding these two areas together gives us the total surface area of the tank. By rounding to the nearest square meter, the correct answer is B.Rate this question:
