Math Quizzes & Trivia

This quiz challenges learners to match linear equations with their corresponding graphs, all having a y-intercept of (0,0). It tests understanding of slopes and y-intercepts, essential for mastering algebra and interpreting graphical data.


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Match the following graph to each equation. All graphs will have a y-intercept of (0,0):y=2/3x+0

    • A.

      Option 1

    • B.

      Option 2

    • C.

      Option 3

    Correct Answer
    B. Option 2
    Explanation
    Option 2 is the correct answer because it represents a linear equation with a y-intercept of (0,0), which matches the given equation y=2/3x+0. The graph in option 2 shows a straight line that passes through the origin (0,0) and has a slope of 2/3, which is consistent with the equation.

  • 2. 

    Match the following graph to each equation. All graphs will have a y-intercept of (0,0):y=1x+0

    • A.
    • B.

      Option 1

    • C.
    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The graph for option 1 matches the equation y=1x+0 because it represents a straight line passing through the origin (0,0) with a slope of 1. This means that for every increase of 1 in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate also increases by 1. The graph starts at the origin and extends infinitely in both positive x and y directions.

  • 3. 

    Match the following graph to each equation. All graphs will have a y-intercept of (0,0):y=-2x+0

    Correct Answer
    B.
    Explanation
    The graph of the equation y = -2x + 0 will be a straight line passing through the origin (0,0) with a slope of -2. As x increases by 1, y will decrease by 2. Therefore, the correct graph will have a downward slope and will pass through the point (0,0).

  • 4. 

    Match the following graph to each equation. All graphs will have a y-intercept of (0,0):y=3x+0

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The equation y=3x+0 represents a linear equation in slope-intercept form, where the coefficient of x is 3 and the y-intercept is 0. This means that the graph of this equation will be a straight line passing through the origin (0,0) with a slope of 3. Therefore, the correct graph will be a straight line that starts at the origin and has a steep slope of 3.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Match the following graph to each equation. All graphs will have a y-intercept of (0,0):y=-5x+0

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The equation y=-5x+0 represents a linear function with a negative slope of -5. Since the y-intercept is (0,0), this means that the graph will pass through the origin. As x increases, y will decrease by 5 times the value of x. Therefore, the graph will start at the origin and slope downwards to the right.
