  1. What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 3x − 5?

    Answer: −5

    In y = mx + b form, b is the y-intercept; here b = −5.

  2. Which equation has x = 4 as its solution?

    Answer: 3x − 2 = 10

    3(4) − 2 = 12 − 2 = 10, confirming x = 4.

  3. Simplify: 4x + 3 − 2x + 7

    Answer: 2x + 10

    Combine like terms: (4x − 2x) + (3 + 7) = 2x + 10.

  4. If y = x + 3 and x = 5, what is y?

    Answer: 8

    y = 5 + 3 = 8.

  5. Which of the following is NOT a function?

    Answer: x = 4 (vertical line)

    A vertical line fails the vertical line test because it assigns multiple y-values to a single x-value.

  6. What is the value of 5² − 3 × 4?

    Answer: 13

    Following order of operations: 5² = 25, then 3 × 4 = 12, and 25 − 12 = 13.
