1. In the system y = 4x - 3 and y = 4x + 1, how many solutions exist?

   • A. None
   • B. One
   • C. Two
   • D. Infinitely many

   Answer: A. None

   Both lines have slope 4 but different intercepts, making them parallel with no intersection.

2. Which function graphs as a straight line?

   • A. f(x) = x²
   • B. f(x) = 2x + 1
   • C. f(x) = √x
   • D. f(x) = 1/x

   Answer: B. f(x) = 2x + 1

   f(x) = 2x + 1 is a linear function and graphs as a straight line.

3. What is the vertex of y = (x - 3)² + 5?

   • A. (3, 5)
   • B. (-3, 5)
   • C. (3, -5)
   • D. (-3, -5)

   Answer: A. (3, 5)

   In vertex form y = a(x - h)² + k, the vertex is (h, k) = (3, 5).

4. Solve for x: 5(x - 2) = 15

   • A. x = 1
   • B. x = 3
   • C. x = 5
   • D. x = 7

   Answer: C. x = 5

   Divide both sides by 5 to get x - 2 = 3, then add 2 to get x = 5.
