Q

Rule for dividing a negative number when solving inequalities

A

You have to flip the sign in the inequality when solving due to

18
Q

How to solve compound inequalities

A

Solve each inequality separately

19
Q

Slope Intercept Equation

A

y=mx+b
(m = slope)
(b = y-intercept)

20
Q

How to find slope when using points on a graph

A

Use any 2 points and stack them vertically then subtract then use the difference

(-1, 3) change in y 2
- (0, 1) change in x -1
———-
(-1, 2) 2/-1 = -2

21
Q

Complementary Angles

A

angles that add up to 90°

21
Q

How to find y-intercept

A

find the slope then choose a point (x, y) and then plug these into y=mx+b and solve for b

22
Q

Supplementary Angles

A

angles that add up to 180°

23
Q

scalene triangle

A

triangle with no congruent sides

24
Q

isosceles triangle

A

triangle with 2 congruent sides and angles opposite of congruent sides are also congruent

25
Q

equilateral triange

A

all sides are congruent and all angles are 60°

26
Q

Equation to find sum of angles in shapes

A

(n-2)x180
n = number of sides

27
Q

Pythagorean Theorm

A

can only be used with right triangles
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

28
Q
