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? graph of line going through ordered pairs 0, 8 and 6, 0 graph of line going through ordered pairs negative 6, 0 and 0, 8 graph of line going through ordered pairs 0, negative 6 and 8, 0 graph of line going through ordered pairs 0, 6 and 8, 0

Answer 1

Yeah the answer is graph A.

Answer 2

Given:
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?

Perfect score: 8 points for 6 correct answers. Incorrect = x = 0 → (0,8)
0 score if incorrect answer is 6. x = 6 → (6,0)

Answer is: graph of line going through ordered pairs 0, 8 and 6, 0

x represents the number or incorrect answer
y represents the total score of the test
