A.

x2 + 1 = 0
1. line parallel to: y = 2x – 5 B. x2 – x – 2 = 0, ( x -2 )( x + 1)
Passing through pt. (1, 1) =0
Since y = mx + b; m = 2 C. 2x2 – 2 = 0, 2( x2 – 1 ) = 0,
y = 2x + b; then substitute the 2( x + 1)( x – 1) = 0
coordinates of pt. (1, 1) D. x2 – 2x – 3 = 0, ( x – 3 )( x +
1 = 2(1) + b; b = 1 – 2 1) = 0
b = -1 answer: C
y = 2x - 1
answer: B
12. ( 2x2 + 11x – p ) / ( 2x – 3 )
divisor: 2x – 3 = 0; 2x = 3; x =
2. inspect the graph: the line passes 3/2
through pts. (1, 2) and (4, -4) using factor theorem,
42 6 2( 3/2 )2 + 11( 3/2 ) – p = 0
slope = m = = = -2
4 1 3 2(9/4) + 33/2 – p = 0
y = -2x + b; then substitute any 9/2 + 33/2 – p = 0
point. We use pt. (1, 2) 42/2 – p = 0
2 = -2(1) +b; b = 2 + 2 p = 21
b=4 answer: D
y = -2x + 4 or y = 4 – 2x
answer: A 13. y = -x + 3
y = -x – 2
from the general form: y = mx +
8. 21  q = 3 + q ; we raise b, where the m is the slope.
both sides to the second power both equations have slopes equal
21 + q = (3 + q )2 = 9 + 6 q to -1
+q since the have the same slope,
21 – 9 + q – q = 6 q these lines are parallel.
12 = 6 q , q = 2 answer: B
q=4
answer: B 14. let x – smaller number
then x + 17 is the bigger number
1 3a 1 3a the sum of the two numbers is

d
is the speed arriving 2 hrs
a2 h
answer: D late. Where d is the distance and
h is time ( hrs.).
11. x2 – 6x + 5 = 0
( x – 5)( x – 1) = 0
To arrive in schedule, the train
has to travel distance d in h – 2
hours.
