50 adults and 30 children

Answer

30 adults and 50 children

Question 11

Logic Problem

Passage

A student examines $y=-4x+7$ and claims, “The y-intercept is −4.”

Question

What is the student confusing?

Accepted Answer

The slope with the y-intercept.

Answer

The y-intercept with the domain

Answer

The coefficient with the exponent

Answer

The x-intercept with the y-intercept

Question 12

Logic Problem

Passage

A student rewrites $y=-4x+7$ as : $y-4=-2x+1\ \Rightarrow\ y=-2x+5$

Question

Where did the student’s reasoning break down?

Accepted Answer

The student distributed −2 incorrectly to the +1.

Answer

The student subtracted 4 instead of adding 4.

Answer

The student should have divided both sides by −2 first.

Answer

The equation cannot be written in slope-intercept form.

Question 13

Logic Problem

Passage

A student rewrites $y=-4x+7$ as : $y-4=-2x+1\ \Rightarrow\ y=-2x+5$

Question

What is the correct diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

The student divided by 2 instead of dividing by 5.

Answer

The student moved

3x-4y=12

incorrectly.

Answer

The student should have found intercepts first.

Answer

The student divided only part of the expression by 5.

Question 14

Logic Problem

Passage

A student states: “In

y=mx+b

, the value

b

represents the x-intercept.”

Question

Is the student’s statement accurate?

Accepted Answer

No, $b$ is the y-intercept.

Answer

No, $b$ represents the slope.

Answer

No, $b$ is just a random number.

Answer

Yes, because intercepts always come from constants.

Question 15

Logic Problem

Passage

A student says: “If the y-intercept is 0, then the line must be vertical.”

Question

Is the student correct?

Accepted Answer

No, it means the line passes through the origin

Answer

No, because a y-intercept of 0 forces the slope to be undefined

Answer

Yes, because a y-intercept of 0 means the equation must be $b$

Answer

Yes, because the y-axis becomes the line

Question 16

Logic Problem

Passage

A student claims: “In $y=-4x+7$ , the y-intercept is 10.”

Question

Is the student’s interpretation correct?

Accepted Answer

No, because isolating $b$ gives $y=3x+5$ , so the y-intercept is 5

Answer

No, because the y-intercept is 6 since it is the coefficient of $b$

Answer

Yes, because the constant term is always the y-intercept even before solving for $b$

Answer

Yes, because multiplying by 2 doubles the y-intercept

Question 17

Logic Problem

Passage

A line crosses the y-axis at $y=-4x+7$ and crosses the x-axis at $y-4=-2x+1\ \Rightarrow\ y=-2x+5$ . A student concludes, "The slope of this line is $-\frac{3}{4}$ ."

Question

Is the student's final conclusion correct?

Accepted Answer

No, because the slope is $b$ , which is positive

Answer

Yes, because moving from $b$ to $y=3x+5$ requires a negative slope

Answer

Yes, because the slope equals $y=3x+5$ whenever one intercept is negative and the other is positive

Answer

No, because slopes cannot be determined from intercepts

Question 18

Logic Problem

Passage

Given the function $y=mx+b$ , a student concludes, "The x-intercept is $b$ because $-1$ is the constant term."

Question

Is the student’s final conclusion correct?

Accepted Answer

No, because the x-intercept is found by setting

y=0

, which gives

y-5=3\left(x+2\right)

Answer

Yes, because x-intercepts are found by setting $b$

Answer

Yes, because the constant term always equals the x-intercept

Answer

No, because the x-intercept must always be an integer

Question 19

Logic Problem

Passage

A student looks at the equation $y=-4x+7$ and concludes, “This line has an undefined slope because it is a vertical line.”

Question

Is the student’s final conclusion correct?

Accepted Answer

No, because

y=0

is a horizontal line and horizontal lines have slope of 0

Answer

Yes, because slope does not exist when $b$ equals $y=3x+5$

Answer

Yes, because $b$ represents a vertical line

Answer

No, because $b$ represents a diagonal line

Question 20

Logic Problem

Passage

A student claims, “Knowing one point on a line and the slope determines exactly one unique line.”

Question

Is the student’s final conclusion correct?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because there is exactly one line through a given point with a specified slope

Answer

Yes, because slope alone determines a unique line regardless of the point

Answer

No, because slope and one point can describe multiple different lines

Answer

No, because a second point is always required to determine a unique line
