WGU STATISTICS TEST ASSESSMENT SHEET
2026 ACCURATE RESPONSE KEY
◉ A method used to prove that a proportion is true. Answer: cross
multiplying
◉ A value that is known and unchanging. Answer: constant
◉ The y-value of the point at which a line intersects with the y-axis.
Answer: y-intercept
◉ A mathematical principle used to multiply one term by multiple
terms. This principle is employed when there are parentheses
around multiple terms, which are in turn multiplied by a single term.
Answer: distributive property
◉ The four sections of the coordinate plane, separated and defined
by the x-axis and y-axis. Answer: quadrants
◉ When a variable is substituted by its known value in an algebraic
expression or equation. Answer: the substitution method
,◉ The value that describes the direction and steepness of a line
drawn on the coordinate plane. It is measured by 'rise over run.'
Rise/Run = (the change in y value) / (the change in x value) = (y2 -
y1)/(x2 -x1) Answer: slope
◉ A string of numbers connected by elementary operations. Answer:
arithmetic expression
◉ A number by which a variable is multiplied. This number is
written in front of the variable(s). Answer: coefficients
◉ Any equation that contains variables, constants, or mathematical
operations. Answer: algebraic equation
◉ Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Answer:
elementary operation
◉ The vertical line that passes through the origin on a coordinate
plane. Answer: y-axis
◉ Two mathematical expressions separated by the equals sign, =.
The two expressions on either side of the equals sign hold the same
value as one another. Answer: equation
, ◉ The point (0,0) on a coordinate plane, which is where the x-axis
and y-axis intersect. Answer: origin
◉ If you perform equivalent operations to both side of an equation,
the result will always be an equivalent equation. Answer: the
principle of equality
◉ A string of terms that are connected by division, addition, and
subtraction operations. Answer: algebraic expression
◉ A symbol that represents a mathematical value. Answer: variable
◉ A number or numerical worth. Answer: value
◉ The largest exponent in an expression. Answer: degree
◉ They that have the same variable(s) with the same exponent(s).
These terms can be 'combined' using addition or subtraction.
Answer: like terms
◉ Two numbers written in the form (x, y), where x represent the x-
value or x-coordinate, and y represents the y-value or y-coordinate.
Answer: ordered pairs
