Question

Mrs. Mitchell decided to grade her projects by giving each student 50 points if they turned in a project and then an additional 5 points for each part they got correct. After looking through some of the projects, she decided to give the students 7 points for each correct section. If Mrs. Mitchell wrote a function to describe the situation, what would change?

Answer 1

Change the slope option A

Answer 2

Let
`c` be the amount of parts the student answered correctly. Suppose that
`s(c)` is a function between
`c` and the score of a student's project. As the student initially receives a fixed
`50` points for turning the project in and
`5` points for each correct part, the function is initially:


`s(c) = 5c+50`

When the students receive
`7` points for each correct part, the coefficient of
`c` changes, as the amount of points received per correct answer increases. Thus:


`s(c) = 7c+50`.
