Accelerated Geometry Chapter 3 Test

Front

What is the slope in the equation of a line?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x in the equation of the line in the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope.

Front

How do you find the equation of a line parallel to a given line?

Back

To find the equation of a line parallel to a given line, use the same slope as the given line and apply the point-slope form of the equation.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

Front

What are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside two parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are parallel using their slopes?

Back

If two lines have equal slopes, they are parallel.

Front

What is the point-slope form of a line?

Back

The point-slope form of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points.

Front

How do you identify corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines in relation to a transversal.
