Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.105 Interpreting Slope and Initial Value in a Linear Function skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Hard
Function A is shown by (0, 9), (4, 21), (8, 33). Function B is y = 4x + 5. Which statement best compares the two functions?
AFunction A starts higher, but Function B increases faster.
BFunction A starts lower, but Function A increases faster.
CFunction B starts higher, and both functions increase at the same rate.
DFunction A and Function B have the same initial value, but Function B increases faster.
Solution & Explanation:Function A rises by 12 over 4 units of x, so its slope is 3 and its initial value is 9. Function B has slope 4 and initial value 5, so A starts higher, but B has the greater rate of change.
Problem 2Difficulty: Hard
A parking garage uses the function C = 5h + 20, where C is total cost in dollars and h is hours parked. Which explanation tells why 20 is the initial value and not the slope?
ABecause 20 is multiplied by h.
BBecause 20 is the total cost when h = 0, while 5 shows how much the cost changes each hour.
CBecause 20 is larger than 5.
DBecause 20 and 5 both represent hourly rates.
Solution & Explanation:The initial value is the output when h = 0, and that is 20. The slope is the coefficient of h, which is 5, so that is the hourly change.
Problem 3Difficulty: Hard
A linear table shows (2, 18), (6, 30), (10, 42), where x is hours and y is dollars earned. Which statement is correct?
AThe earnings start at $12 and increase by $3 each hour.
BThe earnings start at $3 and increase by $12 each hour.
CThe earnings start at $12 and decrease by $3 each hour.
DThe earnings start at $18 and increase by $6 each hour.
Solution & Explanation:The output rises by 12 dollars when x rises by 4 hours, so the slope is 3 dollars per hour. Using 18 = 3(2) + b gives b = 12.
