What is the y-intercept of a line parallel to y= 6?
answer
YOU CAN'T TELL! You know the slope has to be zero, but you need a point on the parallel line to be able to calculate the equation/y intercept.

answer
Perpendicular LinesThe
question
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y= (2/5)x+52?
answer
-(5/2)
question
What is the slope of a line parallel to y= 4?
answer
Undefined
question
Which quadrilateral has five sides?
answer
None of them, silly! QUADrilaterals all have four sides!
question
What is the y-intercept of a line parallel to y= x+3?
answer
YOU CAN'T TELL YET! You know the slope has to be 1, but you need a point on the parallel line to be able to calculate the y-intercept.
question
What is the slope of a line parallel to y= -3x+7?
answer
-3
question
Which quadrilateral has the property that only one set of sides is parallel?
answer
Trapezoid
question
What is the y-intercept of a line perpendicular to y= 5x-2?
answer
YOU CAN'T TELL YET! You know the slope has to be -(1/5), but you need a point on the perpendicular line to be able to calculate the y-intercept.
question
Which quadrilateral has the property that diagonals bisect each other?
answer
Rectangle, Square, Rhombus
question
Which quadrilateral has the property that the diagonals intersect in a right angle?
answer
Rhombus and Square
question
Which quadrilaterals have the property that all opposite sides are congruent?
answer
Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, Square
question
Lines with the same slope
answer
Parallel Lines
question
What theorem is the Distance Formula, really?
answer
It's just the \"a\"-squared plus \"b\"-squared equals \"c\"-squared theorem, known as the Pythagorean Theorem. The only difference is the distance formula just solves for \"c\" by square rooting both sides of the Pythagorean Theorem.
question
Which quadrilaterals have the property that all angles add up to 360 degrees?
answer
All of them.
question
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y= - 2x+5?
answer
(1/2)
question
Which quadrilaterals have the property that all sides are congruent?
answer
Rhombus and Square
question
If you are given four points and asked if they form a rectangle, would you a) find all four slopes of the lines, or b) find all of the side lengths
answer
a) if you could see that the slopes of adjacent sides were perpendicular, then you could say it is a rectangle b) If you could see the side lengths, you might see that opposite sides are congruent...but that could be a parallelogram OR a rectangle. You would have to also know that there is one right angle (find two adjacent slopes are opposite reciprocals) in addition to the side lengths to know for sure that it was a rectangle. SO A only.
question
Which quadrilaterals have the property that all opposite angles are congruent?
answer
Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, Square
question
If you are partitioning directed line segment AB in a 2:3 ratio, what is the fraction that will be your multiplier?
answer
(2/5)
