Question 2 Simplify the following. Show all steps for full marks. [3 A]
a)
first remove the unnecessary parentheses
so= n+3+(3n-5)
when there's a + Infront of an expression in parentheses, the expression remains same
collect like terms/terms
n+3+3n-5 =4n+3-5=4n-2 calculate the difference
simplified=4n-2
b)
do same first step for this q
=5-3-(2m-1)
when there's a - in front expression in parentheses change the sign of term and remove the parentheses
5-3m-2m+1
add the numbers
6-3m-2m
collect terms= 6-5m
c)
a) b)
= =
= =
Question 4
a) Explain the steps you would take to solve for k in this equation.
[2 C]
distribute the 5 through the parentheses = 5k+15=2(4k+7)-5 now distribute 2=5k+15=8k+14-5 subtract #
5k+15=8k+9 move the variable to the left hand side and change the sign =5k+15-8k=9 = 5k-8k=9-15 collect terms
5k-8k=9-15=-3k=9-15 calculate the differences -3k=-6 now divide both sides =k=2
b) Solve the equation above and state what the k value is. [3 A, 1 C]
k=2
2
.: The k value is __________.
Question 5 A triangle and a rectangle have the same perimeter. Find the side lengths of each figure.
[1 K, 3 A, 1 T, 1 C]
n/a
n/a
.: The triangle’s side lengths are ______________. n/a
The rectangle’s side lengths are ____________.
Question 6 Determine the equation of a line in 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏 form that passes through the points (5, 0) and
(0, -5). (Hint: first you need to find the slope, then the y-intercept). [1 K, 3 A, 1 C]
v -intercept = 1=a/A-K(k)+b
b) Use the titles of the axes to help you explain what the slope represents in this graph. [1 T]
Question 8
a) Using the graph below, find the equation of a line parallel to the
given line passing through the point (2,5).
5=2x+3=y=2x+3
.: The equation (y=mx +b) of the new parallel line is _______________.ics
b) Using the same graph, find the equation of a line a perpendicular to the given line passing through
the point (0, 2) and state its equation. [1 K, 2 C]
Question 9 Given the equation of the line, what are the 3 methods that can be used to graph a line? Briefly
explain each method.
[3 C]
1-plotting points
when we draw a point on our grid.
2-y intercept and slope
indicates the characteristics of the relationship between variables x and y
