MO MAP Grade 8 Functions Practice — Sports Academy Games

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 linear function

Standards basis

Missouri Learning Standards (Mathematics K-5 and Mathematics 6-12; revised standards approved April 19, 2016) — Missouri

How the MO MAP reports it

Missouri’s MAP math is built from the Missouri Learning Standards and the state’s item specifications, not from a separate national testing framework. The standards are closely CCSS-aligned in structure, with grade-level and course-level domains used as the native reporting/coverage structure.

Blueprint & weighting

Missouri publishes grade-level and EOC blueprints, but the accessible official pages in this pass did not expose the domain-by-domain percentage tables. The assessment page states that item specifications organize expectations by domains/strands and that blueprints are available for grade-level and EOC assessments.

What is the $y$ -intercept of the line $y = \dfrac{1}{2}x - 4$ ?

In $y = mx + b$ , the $y$ -intercept is $b = -4$ .

Let $p(x) = kx - 6$ for some constant $k$ . If $p(2) = 10$ , what is the value of $p(5)$ ?

Substitute $x = 2$ : $2k - 6 = 10$ , so $2k = 16$ and $k = 8$ . The rule is $p(x) = 8x - 6$ , so $p(5) = 8(5) - 6 = 40 - 6 = 34$ .

A gym charges a $\text{\char36}30$ monthly membership plus $\text{\char36}5$ for each fitness class. Let $x$ be the number of classes and $y$ be the total monthly cost in dollars. Which equation models the situation?

Each class adds $\text{\char36}5$ (slope) on top of the $\text{\char36}30$ membership (intercept), so $y = 5x + 30\textsf{.}$

What is the slope of the line through $(0, 5)$ and $(4, -3)$ ?

Slope $= \dfrac{-3 - 5}{4 - 0} = \dfrac{-8}{4} = -2\textsf{.}$

What is the slope of the line $y = \dfrac{1}{2}x - 1$ ?

In $y = mx + b$ , the slope is $m = \dfrac{1}{2}$ .

Consider the linear function $t$ given by $t(x) = nx + 150$ , where $n$ is a constant. Knowing that $t(10) = 80$ , determine $t(20)$ .

Substitute $x = 10$ : $10n + 150 = 80$ , so $10n = -70$ and $n = -7$ . The rule is $t(x) = -7x + 150$ , so $t(20) = -7(20) + 150 = -140 + 150 = 10$ .
