Algebra practice question

The graph of the linear function f passes through the points (−2, 4) and (4, −2). What is the value of f(0) + f(1)?

Answer: 3

The slope is −1 and f(x) = 2 − x, so f(0) + f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 1
1 is f(1) alone.
If you answered 2
2 is f(0) alone.
If you answered 5
5 uses f(x) = 2 + x, the slope's sign wrong.
