Scoring Rubric
Prompt #1 (2 points): +0.5 each for circling A & B +0.5 each for NOT circling C & D Prompt #2 (2 points): +0.5 each for circling B & D +0.5 each for NOT circling A & C Prompt #3 (4 points): +1 uses slope formula to calculate slope +1 for correct slope-intercept form +1 for answering slope = -9/10 +1 for answering y-intercept = 13/10 Prompt #4 (2 points): +1 for answering slope = 6 +1 for answering y-intercept = -8 Prompt #5 (2 points): +1 for indicating that 3, the numerator, is the rise of the function +1 for indicating that the rise is greater Prompt #6 (3 points): +0.5 for each correct answer: A. Linear B. Non-linear C. Linear D. Non-linear E. Non-linear F. Linear Prompt #7 (6 points): +2 for explaining the process of finding the total cost +1 for raising the question of how many shirts will be purchased +2 for recommending a formula such as (total cost)=5.5(number of shirts) + 15 +1 for stating that it will cost $97.50 to buy 15 shirts Prompt #8 (4 points): +1 for explaining that each time x increases by 1, f(x) becomes twice as large as the new x, whereas g(x) only increases to half of the new x. +1 for associating the 2 to relationship to the difference in the steepness of the lines. +1 for using the graph to illustrate how the difference in steepness continues. +1 if the explanation includes nothing erroneous or extraneous

Prompt #9 (3 points): +1 for explaining that each time x increases by 1 the corresponding values of h(x) and k(x) remain 1 units apart +1 for using the graph to illustrate how the difference in the locations of the lines remains the same +1 if the explanation includes nothing erroneous or extraneous Prompt #10 (5 points): +1 for answering that the ordered pairs could not represent seconds & meters walked +1 for answering that the ordered pairs do not represent a function +2 for explaining that there are two x-values for one y-value, which means that it does not fit the definition of a function +1 for explaining that you cannot be in two places at the same time Prompt #11 (4 points): +1 for each correct answer: a. -3 b. 1 c. Constant d. Decreasing Prompt #12 (3 points): +1 for slope = -1 +1 for y-intercept= 5 +1 for slope-intercept form Prompt #13 (4 points): +1 for circling B +1 for calculating the slope of A +1 for calculating the slope of B +1 for comparing slopes in an explanation Prompt #14 (6 points): a. +1 for selecting Plan A b. +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 for using the definition of a function if the explanation includes nothing erroneous or extraneous for Plan A for explaining that Lydia cannot be in two places at once for using the definition of a function
