AlgebraHardValue at zero from a table of a linear function

Algebra practice question

The table gives values of a linear function f: f(2) = 11, f(5) = 20, and f(8) = 29. What is the value of f(0)?

Answer: 5

f rises by 9 for every 3 units of x, so the slope is 3, and f(0) = 11 − 3(2) = 5.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 2
2 is the first input in the table.
If you answered 3
3 is the slope.
If you answered 11
11 is f(2).
