Problem 1: The graph on the xy-plane of the linear function f contains the point (0, 4). For every increase of 3 units in x, f(x) decreases by 5 units. Which of the following equations defines the function f?
Solution:
- The point (0, 4) indicates that the y-intercept of the function is 4.
- For every increase of 3 units in , decreases by 5 units. This is the slope () of the line, given by:
- The equation of the line in slope-intercept form becomes:
- The correct option is (D) .
-
Problem 2: The graph of the function shown is the xy-plane. Which of the following equations defines ?
Solution:
- The graph intercepts the y-axis at (0, 2), so the y-intercept .
- The slope can be calculated by finding another point on the graph. Assuming a rise of 3 units and a run of 2 units, the slope is:
- Thus, the equation of the line is:
- The correct option is (C) .

Problem 3: The graph shows the positions of Tom and Mallika during a race... which of the following is correct?
Solution:
- Tom’s and Mallika’s lines intersect at , indicating that they both reached the same distance at 30 seconds.
- Before the intersection point, Tom's line is below Mallika's, indicating that Mallika is ahead.
- After 30 seconds, Tom's line is above Mallika's, indicating Tom has overtaken Mallika.
- Therefore, the correct answer is (B) Tom overtook Mallika after 30 seconds.
-
Problem 4: The equation, the points (−4, 4) and (2, 1) are on the line... find the slope.
