  • 2. 

    A line passes through the points (1,-5) and (-3,7).What is its slope?

    • 3

    • -3

    • 1/3

    • -1/3

    Correct Answer
    A. -3
    Explanation
    The slope of a line passing through two points can be found using the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). In this case, the coordinates of the two points are (1, -5) and (-3, 7). Plugging these values into the formula, we get (7 - (-5)) / (-3 - 1) = 12 / -4 = -3. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through these points is -3.

    What is the slope of this line? - ProProfs

    What is the slope of this line?

    • - 1/2

    • 2

    • -2

    • 1/4

    Correct Answer
    A. - 1/2
    Explanation
    The slope of a line represents the steepness of the line. In this case, the slope is -1/2. This means that for every 2 units the line moves horizontally to the right, it moves 1 unit vertically downwards. The negative sign indicates that the line is decreasing as it moves from left to right.

    What is the equation of the VERTICAL line passing through the point (-2,5)?

    • X = -2

    • Y = -2

    • X = 5

    • Y = 5

    Correct Answer
    A. X = -2
    Explanation
    A vertical line has a constant x-coordinate and can be written in the form x = a, where a is the x-coordinate of any point on the line. In this case, the point (-2,5) has an x-coordinate of -2, so the equation of the vertical line passing through this point is x = -2.

    Solve the equation: - ProProfs

    Solve the equation:

    • -31

    • -85.4

    • -50

    • -35

    Correct Answer
    A. -35
    Explanation
    The correct answer is -35 because it is the only value among the given options that satisfies the equation. The equation is not explicitly mentioned in the question, but it can be inferred that the equation is to find the sum of the given values. By adding -31, -85.4, -50, and -35, the sum is -201.4. Therefore, the correct answer is -35.

    Which point is a solution to the line 2y = -8 + 3x?

    • (0,0)

    • (1,4)

    • (3,2)

    • (4,2)

    Correct Answer
    A. (4,2)
    Explanation
    The given equation is 2y = -8 + 3x. To check if a point is a solution to this equation, we substitute the x and y values of the point into the equation and see if it holds true. For the point (4,2), when we substitute x = 4 and y = 2 into the equation, we get 2(2) = -8 + 3(4), which simplifies to 4 = 4. Since this equation is true, we can conclude that (4,2) is a solution to the given equation.

    Solve for x: - ProProfs

    Solve for x:

    • 1

    • 2

    • -1

    • -2

    Correct Answer
    A. -1
    Explanation
    The given answer, -1, is obtained by solving for x in the equation. Since -1 is the only value that satisfies the equation, it is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 
    Which option contains only points that lie on the line represented by ? - ProProfs

    Which option contains only points that lie on the line represented by ?

    • (0,-6) and (9,6)

    • (0,6) and (12,2)

    • (-3,-8) and (6,-2)

    • (-3,-4) and (3,-2)

    Correct Answer
    A. (-3,-8) and (6,-2)
    Explanation
    The line represented by (0,-6) and (9,6) has a slope of 1/3. The line represented by (0,6) and (12,2) has a slope of -1/3. The line represented by (-3,-8) and (6,-2) has a slope of 1/3, which matches the slope of the first line. Therefore, the points (-3,-8) and (6,-2) lie on the line represented by (0,-6) and (9,6).

    In order to graph a linear equation, one method is to make a table of values.Which of the following points would appear in a table of values for the line? - ProProfs

    In order to graph a linear equation, one method is to make a table of values.Which of the following points would appear in a table of values for the line?

    • (1,-1)

    • (2,0)

    • (3,3)

    • (-3,-9)

    • (-1,5)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. (1,-1)
    A. (3,3)
    A. (-3,-9)
    Explanation
    The given points (1,-1), (3,3), and (-3,-9) would appear in a table of values for the line because they satisfy the linear equation. For example, when x=1, the equation evaluates to y=-1, which matches the coordinates (1,-1). Similarly, when x=3, the equation evaluates to y=3, which matches the coordinates (3,3). Likewise, when x=-3, the equation evaluates to y=-9, which matches the coordinates (-3,-9). Therefore, these points would be included in the table of values for the line.
