• To understand the format and types of questions in the quiz

Which method can be used to determine if a relationship is a function?

• Using the horizontal line test

• Checking if each domain value maps to exactly one range value

• Ensuring all domain values are positive

• Verifying that the graph is a straight line

What does it mean if a graph does not pass the vertical line test?

• The graph is a quadratic function

• The graph is not a function

• The graph represents a linear function

• The graph is a direct variation

When writing solutions as ordered pairs, what is the first step?

• Graph the equation

• Solve for the y-intercept

• Choose any value for x

• Choose any value for y

What is the y-value when x is zero in the equation y = -3x - 5?

• 0

• 5

• -3

• -5

How do you find the x-intercept of an equation?

• Find the slope of the line

• Set y to zero and solve for x

• Use the vertical line test

• Set x to zero and solve for y

What is the x-intercept of the equation y = 2x - 3?

• (0, -3)

• (3, 0)

• (1.5, 0)

• (0, 3)

How is the constant rate of change calculated?

• By adding the changes in x and y

• By subtracting the change in x from the change in y

• By dividing the change in y by the change in x

• By dividing the change in x by the change in y
