What the test measures

Functions skills

Define, evaluate, and compare functions
Use functions to model relationships between quantities
Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a function

Standards basis

Arkansas Academic Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M–aligned / Arkansas-adopted math standards) — Arkansas

How the ATLAS reports it

Arkansas’s statewide assessment system is ATLAS, which the ADE page says began serving in spring 2024. The official public page does not publish a math blueprint there, so the most defensible coverage map is the Arkansas math standards structure that ATLAS is aligned to.

Blueprint & weighting

ATLAS uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

What is the $y$ -intercept of the line $y = \dfrac{3}{4}x - 7$ ?

In $y = mx + b$ , the $y$ -intercept is $b = -7$ .

Suppose $z(x) = -2x + b$ , where $b$ is a constant. If $z(8) = 3$ , what is the value of $z(1)\textsf{?}$

Substitute $x = 8$ : $-2(8) + b = 3$ , so $-16 + b = 3$ and $b = 19$ . The rule is $z(x) = -2x + 19$ , so $z(1) = -2(1) + 19 = -2 + 19 = 17$ .

A tutor charges $\text{\char36}35$ per session and no registration fee. Let $x$ be the number of sessions and $y$ be the total cost in dollars. Which equation models the situation?

Each session costs $\text{\char36}35$ with no upfront charge, so $y = 35x\textsf{.}$

What is the slope of the line through $(3, -2)$ and $(5, 8)$ ?

Slope $= \dfrac{8 - (-2)}{5 - 3} = \dfrac{10}{2} = 5\textsf{.}$

Practice playeasy

What is the slope of the line $y = x - 7$ ?

In $y = mx + b$ , the slope is $m = 1$ .

In the rule $g(x) = 8x + c$ , the value of $c$ is a constant. Given that $g(3) = 10$ , find $g(5)$ .

Substitute $x = 3$ : $8(3) + c = 10$ , so $24 + c = 10$ and $c = -14$ . The rule is $g(x) = 8x - 14$ , so $g(5) = 8(5) - 14 = 40 - 14 = 26$ .
