KEY WORDS & FORMULAS 

Determine:  Use mathematics to find a solution to the problem 

Explain:  Use words, symbols and diagrams to make your solution clear 

Identify:  State the number, property, etc. 

 
 
 
Question #1​: 
 
Identify ​the following information for this graph. 

a. The coordinates of the ​vertex 

( 1 , 9 ) 

b. The ​x​-intercepts 

( 0 , 4 ) and ( 0 , 

-2 )  

c. The ​y-​ intercept  

( 0 , 8 ) 

d. The ​axis of symmetry 

(1,0) 

e. A ​point ​symmetrical to (3,5) 

( -1 , 5 ) 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Question #2​:  
 
Determine the ​equation ​of a line [ ] that passes through points 
A( − 2, 7) and B(3, 12). 
 
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1) (B) 12= 1(3)+b  (A) 7=1(-2)+b 

(12-7) / (3+2) (B) 12=3+b  (A) 7= -2+b 

5/5=1 (B) b= 12-3 (A) b= 7-(-2) 

Equation: y= 1x+9  (B) 12-3=9 (A) 7+2=9 

(B) b=9 (A) b=9 

Question #3​:  

 
OCV Basketball team held a car wash to raise money. 
 
● They washed ​cars ​for ​$5​ each, and ​vans ​for ​$7​ each. 
● They washed ​45 vehicles​ in total and earned ​$243​. 
 
 
 
a) Model the problem with ​2 linear equations ​in​ 2 variables​. 
Reminder to define the “Let” statements. 
 
 
Let x represent … # of cars 
 
Let y represent … # of vans 
 
 
 
Equation (1)  5x + 7y = 243 
 Equation (2)  x+y= 243 

 
 
 
 
b) If  the  solution  is  ​(36,  9)​,  what  does  it  ​mean  in  the  context  ​of  this 
problem? 

 
It means that it took 36 cars and 9 vans to raise up to $243. The equation would 
be:  
 
5(36) + 7(9) = $243 
 
 
 
 
Question #4​:

 
  Explain the errors. 
A student was asked to expand:   
y = (3x − 4)(x − 2)   
   
They  provided  the  following  ​incorrect   
solution.  ​Explain  what  they  did  wrong,   
and provide the ​correct ​solution.
