Question 11

Logic Problem

Passage

A student finds the slope through (−3, −2) and (1, 6) by writing:

$m=\frac{6-(-2)}{1-3}=\frac{8}{-2}=-4$ .

Question

Where did the student make mistake?

Accepted Answer

The student used 3 instead of -3 in the x-subtraction.

Answer

Negative slopes are not possible.

Answer

The student should have added 3 instead of subtracting.

Answer

The student subtracted y-values in the wrong order only.

Question 12

Logic Problem

Passage

A line has slope −3 and passes through (2, 5). A student writes: $5=-3(2)+b\Rightarrow5=-6+b\Rightarrow b=-11$ . So the student concludes $y=-3x-11$ .

Question

What was the student's mistake?

Accepted Answer

They solved for $b$ incorrectly. (sign/operation error)

Answer

A line with slope - 3 cannot pass through (2, 5).

Answer

They should have used point-slope form only

Answer

They substituted the point incorrectly.

Question 13

Logic Problem

Passage

A student says: “In $5=-3(2)+b\Rightarrow5=-6+b\Rightarrow b=-11$ , the y-intercept is -6."

Question

What is wrong with the student's conclusion?

Accepted Answer

They must isolate y before reading the y-intercept.

Answer

The x-intercept must be found first.

Answer

The slope cannot be determined from this equation.

Answer

The y-intercept can never be negative.

Question 14

Logic Problem

Passage

A student says: “For the equation $5=-3(2)+b\Rightarrow5=-6+b\Rightarrow b=-11$ , the slope is 3."

Question

Is this interpretation correct?

Accepted Answer

No, vertical lines have undefined slope.

Answer

No, because vertical lines always have slope 0.

Answer

Yes, the slope is 3.

Answer

Yes, because the constant equals the slope.

Question 15

Logic Problem

Passage

A student states: “To find an x-intercept, you should set $5=-3(2)+b\Rightarrow5=-6+b\Rightarrow b=-11$ ."

Question

Is the student’s interpretation correct?

Accepted Answer

No, because x-intercepts occur when $b$ .

Answer

No, because x-intercepts require setting $b$ .

Answer

Yes, because setting $b$ always gives the x-intercept value

Answer

Yes, because intercepts are found by setting the same variable to 0.

Question 16

Logic Problem

Passage

A student says: “If a line has a positive x-intercept and a positive y-intercept, then its slope must be negative.”

Question

Is the student’s interpretation correct?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because going from a positive y-intercept to a positive x-intercept requires decreasing $b$ as $x$ increases.

Answer

Yes, because two positive intercepts always create a vertical line.

Answer

No, because intercept signs do not relate to slope direction at all.

Answer

No, because two positive intercepts always create a positive slope,

Question 17

Logic Problem

Passage

A student is told that a line’s y-intercept is 3. The student concludes, “Therefore, the equation of the line must be $5=-3(2)+b\Rightarrow5=-6+b\Rightarrow b=-11$ .”

Question

Is the student’s final conclusion logically valid?

Accepted Answer

No, because many different lines can share the same y-intercept of 3.

Answer

Yes, because the y-intercept always equals the slope in linear equations.

Answer

No, because a y-intercept of 3 implies the slope must be negative.

Answer

Yes, because a y-intercept of 3 uniquely determines the equation $b$ .

Question 18

Logic Problem

Passage

A student says, “If a line has an x-intercept of 0, then it must have slope 0.”

Question

Is the student’s final conclusion logically valid?

Accepted Answer

No, because many non-horizontal lines pass through $b$ and still have x-intercept of 0.

Answer

Yes, because an x-intercept of 0 implies the line is constant

Answer

Yes, because an x-intercept of 0 means the line lies on the x-axis

Answer

No, because an x-intercept of 0 forces the slope to be undefined

Question 19

Logic Problem

Passage

A student concludes, “If a line has a negative slope, then its y-intercept must be negative as well.”

Question

Is the student’s final conclusion logically valid?

Accepted Answer

No, because the sign of the slope does not determine the sign of the y-intercept

Answer

No, because a negative slope implies the line is vertical

Answer

Yes, because a decreasing line must cross the y-axis below the origin

Answer

Yes, because slope and y-intercept always have the same sign

Question 20

Logic Problem

Passage

A student sees $5=-3(2)+b\Rightarrow5=-6+b\Rightarrow b=-11$ and concludes, “This line has no y-intercept because the intercept is 0.”

Question

Is the student’s final conclusion correct?

Accepted Answer

No, because the line crosses the y-axis at $b$ , so the y-intercept exists and equals 0.

Answer

Yes, because an intercept of 0 means the graph does not cross that axis.

Answer

No, because a y-intercept of 0 makes the line vertical.

Answer

Yes, because only positive intercepts count as intercepts.
