Question

A student took a test which had 6 questions. He would score 8 points on the test if all his answers are correct. If y represents the student's score when he got x questions incorrect, which graph best represents this situation?

Answer 1

Well we know two things: the x-axis is the number of incorrect questions and the y-axis is the number of points the student can earn on the test.

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Now, how many points will the student get if he/she gets none wrong?

Answer 4

8?

Answer 5

Yes! So, if the number of incorrect answers (x-axis) is 0, he would have to get 8 points (y-axis).
