Math tests Grade 8 : Graphing Linear Equations — Zyro the alien explorer of Planète Maths

Suggested time: 45 minutes. Out of 20 points. Calculator allowed only when the problem says so.

1 Slope and intercept / 3 pts

  1. State the slope and the y-intercept of \(y = 6x - 8\).
  2. State the slope and the y-intercept of \(y = -\dfrac{x}{4} + 3\).
  3. Does the line \(y = 6x - 8\) rise or fall from left to right? Explain.

2 Table and graph / 4 pts

Consider \(y = -3x + 2\).

  1. Complete the table for \(x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2\).
  2. Graph the line on a coordinate plane.
\(x\) \(-2\) \(-1\) \(0\) \(1\) \(2\)
\(y\) ? ? ? ? ?

3 Equation from a graph / 4 pts

The line below passes through \(P(0, 3)\) and \(Q(4, 1)\).

-3-2-112345678-2-1123456PQ

  1. Find the slope of the line.
  2. Write its equation.
  3. Find \(y\) when \(x = 10\).

4 Horizontal and vertical lines / 3 pts

Consider the point \((-3, 6)\).

  1. Write the equation of the horizontal line through this point.
  2. Write the equation of the vertical line through this point.
  3. Give the slope of each line.

5 Rate of change from a table / 3 pts

The table shows a linear relationship.

\(x\) \(1\) \(3\) \(5\) \(7\)
\(y\) \(5\) \(11\) \(17\) \(23\)

Find the rate of change, then write the equation.

6 Bike rental / 3 pts

A shop charges $8 plus $6 per hour to rent a bike. Let \(C\) be the cost in dollars for \(h\) hours.

  1. Write an equation for \(C\).
  2. Find the cost for 5 hours.
  3. How many hours can you rent for $50?
