The line y = 3x + 2 is parallel to which line?
Answer: y = 3x − 5
Parallel lines share the same slope of 3.
What is the area of a square whose diagonal is 6√2?
Answer: 36
A diagonal of 6√2 means side 6, so area = 6² = 36.
A central angle of 90° in a circle of radius 4 cuts off an arc of what length?
Answer: 2π
Arc = (90/360) × 2π(4) = ¼ × 8π = 2π.
The x-intercept of the line 2x + 3y = 12 is at what point?
Answer: (6, 0)
Set y = 0: 2x = 12, so x = 6, giving (6, 0).
An equilateral triangle has side length 6. What is its area?
Answer: 9√3
Area = (√3/4)s² = (√3/4)(36) = 9√3.
If point P is reflected over the x-axis from (3, 5), what is its image?
Answer: (3, −5)
Reflecting over the x-axis negates the y-coordinate, giving (3, −5).
Two angles are supplementary and one is 65°. What is the other?
Answer: 115°
Supplementary angles sum to 180°, so 180° − 65° = 115°.
