Montana PK-12 Mathematics Content Standards / Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M)-aligned Montana standards — Montana
Students solve systems of equations algebraically or from verbal descriptions and estimate solutions from graphs. This Grade 8 reporting domain maps to 2 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.
Montana PK-12 Mathematics Content Standards / Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M)-aligned Montana standards — Montana
Montana’s MAST is a state-specific through-year assessment built by New Meridian and aligned to Montana’s academic content standards, not a Smarter Balanced-style claims/targets framework. The math blueprints organize content into grade-level strands/testlets that map directly to CCSS-M-derived Montana standards.
The blueprint publishes a through-year design of 12 strands/testlets per grade, with 1 strand per testlet, 2 reporting attributes per strand, and 9–13 items per testlet. It also specifies approximate item-type and DOK distributions, but does not publish percentage weighting by domain in the captured blueprint text.

Which of the following systems of linear equations has no solution?
Both equations have slope but different -intercepts ( and ), so the lines are parallel and the system has no solution.
How many solutions does the given system of equations have?
Rewrite in slope-intercept form: and . The slopes and are different, so the lines intersect at exactly one point.
Which system of linear equations has no solution?
Both equations have slope but different -intercepts ( and ), so the lines are parallel and the system has no solution.
How many solutions does the given system of equations have?
Rewrite in slope-intercept form: and . The slopes and are different, so the lines intersect at exactly one point.
Which of the following systems has no solution?

How many solutions does the given system of equations have?
Rewrite in slope-intercept form: and . The slopes and are different, so the lines intersect at exactly one point.
Which system below has no solution?
Both equations have slope but different -intercepts ( and ), so the lines are parallel and the system has no solution.
How many solutions does the given system of equations have?
Rewrite in slope-intercept form: and . The slopes are the same, but the -intercepts differ, so the lines are parallel and the system has zero solutions.
The MAST placement starts with this test's real coverage map and finds the right difficulty.
