2 Mid-Chapter Quiz

Do you know HOW?

Determine whether each relation is a function.

  1. x y
    3 7
    4 2
    3 2
    5 1
  2. x y
    1 4
    2 3
    3 3
    4 4

Find the x- and y-intercepts of each line.

  1. x minus , 3 y equals 9
  2. y equals 7 x plus 5
  3. y equals 6 x
  4. negative 4 x plus y equals 10

Write the equation of each line in slope-intercept form and identify the slope.

  1. 2 x minus y equals 9
  2. 4 x equals 2 plus y
  3. 5 y equals negative 3 x minus 10
  4. 4 x plus 6 y equals 12

Write an equation of each line in standard form with integer coefficients.

  1. the line through (2, 3) and (4, 5)
  2. the line through open negative 4 comma 6 close  and open 2 comma negative 2 close
  3. the line through open negative 4 comma 2 close  with slope 3
  4. the line through (1, 2) with slope 4 fifths
  5. a line through (3, 1) with slope 0
  6. a line with slope of 2 thirds  and y-intercept (0, 5)
  7. 2 y equals negative 4 x minus 12
  8. 2 thirds , x plus 3 equals 6 y minus 15

Write an equation of each line in point-slope form.

  1. open negative 4 comma 2 close  and open negative 3 comma 5 close
  2. (0, 0) and open negative 4 comma negative 5 close
  3. open negative 4 comma negative 3 close  and (2, 7)

Graph each equation.

  1. 2 y equals 4 x plus  8
  2. 2 x minus 3 y equals 6
  3. 4 y minus x equals 16

For each function, determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, identify the constant of variation.

  1. 2 y equals 3 x
  2. 4 y minus 7 x equals 0
  3. y plus , 3 fourths , x equals 12

Do you UNDERSTAND?

    1. A group of friends is going to the movies. Each ticket costs $8.00. Write an equation to model the total cost of the group's tickets.
    2. Graph the equation. Explain what the x- and y-intercepts represent.
    3. What would be the cost for 12 tickets?
    4. Writing Could the domain include fractions? Explain.
  1. Which line is perpendicular to 3 x plus 2 y equals 6 question mark
    1. 4 x minus 6 y equals 3
    2. y equals negative , 3 halves , x plus 4
    3. 2 x plus 3 y equals 12
    4. y equals , 3 halves , x plus 1
  2. Reasoning Why is the slope of a vertical line undefined?
  3. Suppose m equals 25 minus , 0.15 , n  describes the amount of money remaining on a $25 phone card m, as a function of the number of minutes of calls you make n. What are a reasonable domain and range?
