  1. The graph shows which equation?

    A v-shaped graph falls through (negative 3, 2) to a vertex at (1, negative 2), and then rises through (3, 0).

    1. y equals vertical line 3 x minus 1 vertical line plus 2
    2. y equals vertical line x minus 1 vertical line plus 2
    3. y equals vertical line x minus 1 vertical line negative 2
    4. y equals vertical line 3 x minus 3 vertical line negative 2
  2. How are the graphs of y equals 2 x and y equals 2 x plus 2  related?
    1. The graph of y equals 2 x plus 2  is the graph of y equals 2 x translated down two units.
    2. The graph of y equals 2 x plus 2  is the graph of y equals 2 x translated up two units.
    3. The graph of y equals 2 x plus 2  is the graph of y equals 2 x translated to the left two units.
    4. The graph of y equals 2 x plus 2  is the graph of y equals 2 x translated to the right two units.
  3. What is the equation of a line parallel to y equals x  that passes through the point (0, 1)?
    1. y equals x plus 1
    2. y equals 2 x plus 2
    3. y equals x minus 1
    4. y equals negative x

Short Response
