SOLUTION SET: MATH 2 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA 1. A (1,2) B (9,2) C (1,k) Segment AB = AC AB = X2 X1 = 9-1 = 8 AC = Y2 Y1 = k 2 = 8 k 2 = 8; k = 8 + 2 k = 10 answer: B line parallel to: y = 2x 5 Passing through pt. (1, 1) Since y = mx + b; m = 2 y = 2x + b; then substitute the coordinates of pt. (1, 1) 1 = 2(1) + b; b = 1 2 b = -1 y = 2x - 1 answer: B Slope of the line containing pts. (2, -4) and (-5, 7) y 2 y1 7 ( 4) 11 Slope = m = = =x 2 x1 7 5 2 answer: B inspect the graph: the line passes through pts. (1, 2) and (4, -4) slope = m = y = -2x + b; then substitute any point. We use pt. (1, 2) 2 = -2(1) +b; b = 2 + 2 b=4 y = -2x + 4 or y = 4 2x answer: A 5.
b +3 2 b +3 b+ = ; multiply both sides by 2 2 4 2 6 = = -2 4 1 3

2x + 4y 5(3) = 19 2x + 4y = 19 + 15; 2x + 4y = 34, divide both sides by 2 x + 2y = 17, thus, x + 2y + z = 17 + 3 = 20 answer: A 7. 32/n = n 3 2 = answer: B
