AlgebraHardValue at zero from two values

Algebra practice question

The linear function g satisfies g(1) = 3 and g(4) = 12. What is the value of g(0)?

Answer: 0

The slope is (12 − 3)/(4 − 1) = 3, so g(0) = 3 − 3(1) = 0.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 1
1 comes from a slope of 2.
If you answered 3
3 is g(1).
If you answered -3
−3 subtracts the slope twice.
