If ABC is reflected over the y-axis, what are the coordinates of C?
-
(-5, 1)
-
(2, 1)
-
(-2, -1)
-
(5, -1)
Correct Answer
A. (2, 1)Explanation
When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same. In this case, the original coordinates of point C are (-2, -1). When reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign, resulting in (2, -1). However, the y-coordinate remains the same, so the final coordinates of C after reflection over the y-axis are (2, 1).Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. -16Explanation
The expression can be simplified using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, we perform the multiplication and division from left to right. 2 multiplied by 3 is 6. Then, we subtract the product of 4 and 2 from 6, which is -2. Next, we perform the multiplication and division from left to right again. 2 multiplied by 4 is 8, and 8 minus 7 is 1. Finally, we add -2 and 2(1), which gives us -2 + 2 = 0. Therefore, the correct answer is -16.Rate this question:

-
68 degrees
-
42 degrees
-

Correct Answer
A. 68 degreesExplanation
The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. Given that two angles are 51 and 61 degrees, we can find the measure of the third angle by subtracting the sum of the two known angles from 180. Therefore, 180 - 51 - 61 = 68 degrees.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 10Explanation
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. In this case, the given numbers 10, 12, and 8 could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. To find the missing side, we can use the theorem. By squaring the lengths of the other two sides and adding them together, we get 100 + 144 = 244. To find the value of x, we take the square root of 244, which is approximately 15.65. However, since x is an integer, the closest whole number value is 10.Rate this question:

Mark walked 15 blocks South and 8 blocks East to the store. How many blocks would he have travled by walking directly to the store?
-
12
-
17
-
23
-
14
Correct Answer
A. 17Explanation
To find the number of blocks Mark would have traveled by walking directly to the store, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Mark walked 15 blocks South and 8 blocks East, forming a right triangle. The hypotenuse of this triangle represents the direct distance to the store. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of the hypotenuse. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So, the square of the hypotenuse is (15^2 + 8^2), which equals 289. Taking the square root of 289 gives us 17, which is the number of blocks Mark would have traveled by walking directly to the store.Rate this question:

Which equation describes the line containing the points (6,-8) and (4,-2)?
-
Y = -3x - 18
-
Y = -3x +10
-
Y=5x - 38
-
Y=3x - 10
Correct Answer
A. Y = -3x +10Explanation
The equation y = -3x + 10 describes the line containing the points (6, -8) and (4, -2). This can be determined by substituting the coordinates of either point into the equation and checking if it satisfies the equation. In this case, when we substitute (6, -8) into the equation, we get -8 = -3(6) + 10, which simplifies to -8 = -18 + 10. Since this is true, we can conclude that the equation correctly represents the line passing through the given points.Rate this question:

A. -8x^3y^7Explanation
The given expression is the product of two terms: (2x^2y^5) and (-4xy^2). To simplify, we multiply the coefficients (-4)(2) to get -8. Then, we combine the variables x and y by adding their exponents. For x, the exponents are 2 and 1, so we add them to get x^3. For y, the exponents are 5 and 2, so we add them to get y^7. Therefore, the simplified expression is -8x^3y^7.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 5Explanation
The given question asks for the distance between the points (5, 4) and (8, 8). To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, we can use the distance formula, which states that the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is equal to the square root of [(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]. In this case, the distance between (5, 4) and (8, 8) is equal to the square root of [(8 - 5)^2 + (8 - 4)^2], which simplifies to the square root of [9 + 16], which equals 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.Rate this question:

-
(2,4)
-
(5,1)
-
(1,4)
-
(10,2)
Correct Answer
A. (5,1)Explanation
The correct answer is (5,1). By substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second equation, we get 2(4y + 1) + 2y = 12. Simplifying this equation gives us 8y + 2 + 2y = 12, which further simplifies to 10y + 2 = 12. Solving for y, we find y = 1. Substituting this value of y back into the first equation, we get x = 4(1) + 1, which simplifies to x = 5. Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (5,1).Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 13Explanation
The given expression represents the multiplication of two complex numbers. To simplify this, we can use the FOIL method, which stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last. Multiplying the first terms (2 and 2) gives us 4. Multiplying the outer terms (2 and -3i) gives us -6i. Multiplying the inner terms (3i and 2) gives us 6i. Finally, multiplying the last terms (3i and -3i) gives us -9i^2. Since i^2 is equal to -1, we can simplify -9i^2 to 9. Combining all these results, we get 4 + (-6i) + 6i + 9, which simplifies to 13.Rate this question:
