Slope Quizzes & Trivia

This quiz will assess finding slope from a table, two points, graph, and equation.

2. The linear parent function is y = x?

Explanation

The linear parent function is y = x because it represents a straight line with a slope of 1 and passes through the origin (0,0). In this function, the value of y is always equal to the value of x, which makes it a simple and basic representation of a linear relationship. Therefore, the given statement is true.

3. What is the slope of the line  y = 9x + 4?

Explanation

Slope is the m in the equation mx + b..... so 9 is the slope.

Submit
4. What is the y-intercept of the following line: y = 2x + 4?

Explanation

The y-intercept of a line is the point where the line intersects the y-axis. In the equation y = 2x + 4, the constant term 4 represents the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. Therefore, the y-intercept is at the point (0,4).

Submit
5. Which one the following is the correct function for the following description?
  • A linear function with a slope of 1/4 and a y-intercept of (0,2).

Explanation

The correct function for the given description is y=1/4x + 2. This function represents a linear relationship with a slope of 1/4, meaning that for every increase of 1 in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate increases by 1/4. The y-intercept is (0,2), which means that the line crosses the y-axis at y=2. Therefore, the equation y=1/4x + 2 satisfies both the slope and y-intercept conditions.

Submit
6. Which of the following describes the function y=3x - 5 correctly?

Explanation

The correct answer is that the linear function has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of (0, -5). This means that for every increase of 1 in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate will increase by 3. The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which in this case is at (0, -5).

Submit
7. Compare the following linear functions.
  1. y = 2x + 5
  2. y = 2x - 5
 
  1. y=2x - 5

Explanation

The correct answer is that the second function shifted 10 units down. This can be determined by comparing the two functions. In the first function, y = 2x + 5, the constant term is +5, indicating that the graph of the function intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 5). In the second function, y = 2x - 5, the constant term is -5, indicating that the graph of the function intersects the y-axis at the point (0, -5). Since the constant term changed from +5 to -5, the function shifted 10 units down.

Submit
8. Find the slope given the following points ( 2, 0)  and ( 1, 2)

Explanation

The slope of a line is determined by the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates between two points on the line. In this case, the change in y is -2 (2 - 0) and the change in x is -1 (1 - 2). Therefore, the slope is -2/-1, which simplifies to 2.
