Consider points A (0, 2), B (2.5, 0), and C (1, 1.2). If line segments are drawn between each pair of points, then the points could best be described as:
A. vertices of a right triangle.
B. vertices of an isosceles triangle.
C. vertices of an equilateral triangle.
D. are on a straight line.
Solution:
The slope of line AB is: D
M subscript A B end subscript equals fraction numerator Y b minus Y a over denominator X b minus X a end fraction equals fraction numerator 0 minus 2 over denominator 2.5 minus 0 end fraction equals negative 0.8
The slope of line BC is:
M subscript B C end subscript equals fraction numerator Y c minus Y b over denominator X c minus X b end fraction equals fraction numerator 1.2 minus 0 over denominator 1 minus 2.5 end fraction equals negative 0.8
The slope of line CA is:
M subscript C A end subscript equals fraction numerator Y c minus Y a over denominator X c minus X a end fraction equals fraction numerator 1.2 minus 2 over denominator 1 minus 0 end fraction equals negative 0.8
Additionally, if we consider y=mx+b we can also see point A is our y-intercept, or b value. Thus the line with the equation y=(-0.8)x+2 should describe the line connecting the two points. Verifying with the given points, we see:
Point A –> 2=(-0.8*0)+2, thus 2=2.
Point B –> 0=(-0.8*2.5)+2, thus 0=0.
Point C –> 1.2=(-0.8*1)+2, thus 1.2=1.2.
Therefore, A, B, and C must be on a straight line since the lines have the same slope and connecting the segments together would produce a straight line.
In the following figure, which line has a slope of zero?
Correct Option: B Solution:
Definition:
The general form of the equation of a line is y = mx + b.
When m = 0, y = b.
Line 2 matches this general form of the equation of a line.
The general form of the equation of line 1 is x = c; in this equation, m is unknown.
Slope space of space zero space means space m space equals space fraction numerator increment y over denominator increment x end fraction space equals space 0 space left parenthesis only space numerator space can space be space 0 right parenthesis
That space means space any space line space where space increment y space equals space 0 space will space be space the space answer.
Therefore comma space option space straight B space is space correct.

Find the root of this equation:
x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x +3 =0
A. –4.3
B. 2.7
C. 3.3
D. 4.12
Your Option: –
Correct Option: A
Solution:
Analytically finding the roots of a polynomial of order beyond two is difficult. In a question like this, the fastest approach is to use a calculator. For instance, on a Casio FX-115ES calculator, do the following:
1) MODE
2) 5 – FOR EQN
3) 4 – FORa x cubed b x squared plus c x plus d equals 0
4) INPUT a = 1, b = 3, c = 5 and d = 3 (followed by =)
5) PRESS = FOR x1, x2, and x3
Alternatively, one can plug all values into the polynomial and determine which one brings it to 0. In this case, for example:
(4.12)3+3(4.12)2−5(4.12)+3=69.93+50.92−20.6+3=103.25 (−4.3)3+3(−4.3)2−5(−4.3)+3=−79.51+55.47+21.5+3=0.46 (3.3)3+3(3.3)2−5(3.3)+3=35.94+32.67−16.5+3=55.11 (2.7)3+3(2.7)2−5(2.7)+3=19.68+21.87−13.5+3=25.05
0.46 is the closest to zero, and not zero just because of rounding.
Therefore, -4.3 is the root of the equation.

the center is (h,k), using center coordinates (5,6):
m 1 (x-5)^2 + m2(y-6)^2 =m3
Substitute x = 3 and y = 2 into the three answer options above that satisfy the above format. If the equation satisfies, it is correct. Arriving at Option D:
(3-5)^2 + 2(2-6)^2 = 36
36 space equals space 36
Options B, C, and D agree with the ellipse center coordinates.
Only option D works if the coordinates of A (3, 2) are substituted into the ellipse equation

What are the coordinates for the vertex of a parabola with a directrix at y = 2 and a focus at F(4, 8)?
A. V(3, 5)
B. V(4, 3)
C. V(4, 5)
D. V(-4, 6)
Correct Option: C
Solution:
Since the directrix is at y = 2, the parabola opens up or down.
This means that the x coordinate of the vertex and the focus is the same, eliminating answers a and d.
The y coordinate of the vertex can be found using y = (2 + 8)/2 = 5. The vertex is at V(4,5).
