Question 16 of 16
Match each written function (y = …) with the sketched graph it fits best:
y = 5x − 2 y = 1 − 3x y = x3 y = 3x 
Reveal answer
Notes:The primary purpose of this question is to have students figure out how to match each expression to a graph. Of course, one could take the time to plot each function one by one, but there exist much simpler ways to determine the “character” of a function without plotting the whole thing.

Question 3, answer - the ‘+’ symbol is missing from ‘= a^(m+n)’.
Question 7, question and answer - second equation should have a multiplication symbol, not the ‘variable x’.
Question 8, question and answer - second equation should have a multiplication symbol, not the ‘variable x’.
Question 9, question - the ‘+’ symbol is missing between ‘4.5154 ‘+’ 14’.
Question 9, answer:
- the ‘+’ symbol is missing: 10 − 25 ×2 ‘+’ 5 = −35
- the ‘+’ symbol is missing: −8 ‘+’ 10^3 ×51 = 50992
- the ‘+’ symbol is missing: 12^4 ×(3 ‘+’ 11) = 290304
Question 9, question and answer: The square root should enclose the whole equation, and the equation should have a multiplication symbol, not the ‘variable x’.
Question 13, question and answer: The table columns need spacing and the ‘+’ symbol is missing from the headings ‘2x + 1’.
These are all correct in the PDF version.
