Problems use slope-intercept form and slope formulas, require rewriting equations into standard form, and test skills in computing unknown parameters from coordinate pairs and equation relationships. Answers include step-by-step rationales emphasizing algebraic transformations and proportionality checks.","Question ID 3008cfc3  \n\n| Assessment\u003Cbr>SAT | Test\u003Cbr>Math | Domain\u003Cbr>Algebra | Skill\u003Cbr>Linear equations in two variables | Difficulty\u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\nID: 3008cfc3  \n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| | |\n| | |\n\nThe table gives the coordinates of two points on a line in the xy-plane. The y-intercept of the line is  , where  and  are constants. What is the value of ?  \nID: 3008cfc3 Answer  \nCorrect Answer: 33  \nRationale  \nThe correct answer is 33 . It’s given in the table that the coordinates of two points on a line in the xy-plane are ൫ 􀝇, 13 ൯ and ൫ 􀝇 + 7, -15 ൯ . The y-intercept is another point on the line. The slope computed using any pair of points from the line will be the same. The slope of a line, 􀝉, between any two points, 􀝔1, 􀝕 1 and 􀝔2, 􀝕2, on the line can be calculated using the slope formula, 􀝉 = 􀝕􀝔~~2~~2--~~ ~~􀝕􀝔~~1~~1. It follows that the slope of the line with the given points from the table, ൫ 􀝇, 13 ൯ and ൫ 􀝇 + 7, -15 ൯ , is 􀝉 = 􀝇-~~ ~~7-1-3􀝇 , which is equivalent to 􀝉 = -278~~ ~~ , or 􀝉 = -4. It's given that the y-intercept of the line is ൫ 􀝇 -5, 􀜾 ൯ . Substituting-4 for 􀝉 and the coordinates of the points ൫ 􀝇 -5, 􀜾 ൯ and  \n൫ 􀝇, 13 ൯ into the slope formula yields-4 = 􀝇1-3􀝇-~~ ~~-􀜾5 , which is equivalent to-4 = 􀝇~~ ~~1-3􀝇~~ ~~-5 , or-4 = 135-~~ ~~􀜾 . Multiplying both sides of this equation by 5 yields-20 = 13- 􀜾 . Subtracting 13 from both sides of this equation yields-33 = - 􀜾 . Dividing both sides of this equation by-1 yields 􀜾 = 33. Therefore, the value of 􀜾 is 33.  \nQuestion Dif±culty: Hard  \nQuestion ID d1b66ae6  \n\n| Assessment\u003Cbr>SAT | Test\u003Cbr>Math | Domain\u003Cbr>Algebra | Skill\u003Cbr>Systems of two linear equations in two variables | Difficulty\u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\n ID: d1b66ae6   \nIf  satisfies the system of equations above, what is the value of y ?  \nID: d1b66ae6 Answer  \nRationale  \nThe correct answer is . One method for solving the system of equations for y is to add corresponding sides of the two equations. Adding the left-hand sides gives , or 4y. Adding the right-hand sides yields  \n. It follows that . Finally, dividing both sides of  by 4 yields or .

The value of k can be found using the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, ,  \nwhere m is the slope and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. The equation can be rewritten in  \nthe form  . One of the given points, , is the y-intercept. Thus, the y-coordinate of the y  \nintercept  must be equal to . Multiplying both sides by k gives .
