1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which relation is a function?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Each input is paired with exactly one output..

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: A function assigns exactly one output to each input, although several inputs may share the same output.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is Each input is paired with exactly one output..

A function assigns exactly one output to each input, although several inputs may share the same output.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the slope of the line through (1, 2) and (3, 6)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 2.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Use the slope formula: (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 4 / 2 = 2.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 2.

Use the slope formula: (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 4 / 2 = 2.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the y-intercept of y=3x−5y=3x-5?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is -5.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: In y = mx + b, b is the y-intercept. Here b = -5.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is -5.

In y = mx + b, b is the y-intercept. Here b = -5.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Evaluate y=2x+1y=2x+1 when x = 4.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 9.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Substitute 4 for x: y = 2(4) + 1 = 9.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 9.

Substitute 4 for x: y = 2(4) + 1 = 9.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A table has x-values 0, 1, 2 and y-values 5, 8, 11. Which rule fits the table?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is y=3x+5y=3x+5.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: The y-values increase by 3, so the slope is 3, and the value at x = 0 gives an intercept of 5.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is y=3x+5y=3x+5.

The y-values increase by 3, so the slope is 3, and the value at x = 0 gives an intercept of 5.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the constant of proportionality in y=4xy=4x?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 4.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: In y = kx, the coefficient k is the constant of proportionality, so k = 4.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 4.

In y = kx, the coefficient k is the constant of proportionality, so k = 4.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

What type of line has slope 0?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is A horizontal line..

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: A horizontal line has no vertical change as x changes, so its slope is 0.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is A horizontal line..

A horizontal line has no vertical change as x changes, so its slope is 0.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

What type of line has undefined slope?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is A vertical line..

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: A vertical line has a zero change in x, so the slope formula would require division by zero.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is A vertical line..

A vertical line has a zero change in x, so the slope formula would require division by zero.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation has slope 3 and y-intercept 2?
