Identifies the y-intercept as (0, 1). Accepts equivalent forms: y-intercept = 1, or the statement 'when x = 0, y = 1'. Award 1 of 2 points if the numeric value 1 is correct but is given only as an unlabeled number with no indication it is the y-intercept. Award 0 points if the value is incorrect.
The answer area contains only a graph with no written text identifying the y-intercept. No numeric value, coordinate, or statement indicating the y-intercept is present.
Identifies the x-intercept as (2, 0). Accepts equivalent forms: x-intercept = 2, or the statement 'when y = 0, x = 2'. Award 1 of 2 points if the numeric value 2 is correct but is given only as an unlabeled number with no indication it is the x-intercept. Award 0 points if the value is incorrect.
The answer area contains only a graph with no written text identifying the x-intercept. No numeric value, coordinate, or statement indicating the x-intercept is present.
The sketched graph shows a point, mark, or line crossing at the correct y-intercept location (0, 1) on the y-axis. Award 0 points if missing or plotted at a wrong coordinate.
The sketched line crosses the y-axis at the first tick mark above the origin, which corresponds to the correct y-intercept location (0, 1).
The sketched graph shows a point, mark, or line crossing at the correct x-intercept location (2, 0) on the x-axis. Award 0 points if missing or plotted at a wrong coordinate.
The line crosses the x-axis at the tick mark labeled -2 on the left side of the origin, i.e., at (-2, 0), rather than the correct x-intercept location (2, 0).
The graph is a single straight line with negative slope that passes through the correct intercepts (0, 1) and (2, 0). Award 1 of 2 points if the line is straight with negative slope but fails to pass through one or both correct intercepts. Follow-through: if an intercept is misplaced due to an earlier algebraic error already penalized in C1 or C2, award 1 of 2 points provided the line is straight with negative slope and passes through the student's own plotted intercept points. Award 0 points if the graph is curved or has positive slope.
Although the graph is a single straight line, it rises from left to right, indicating a positive slope. The line passes through the student's plotted points (0, 1) and (-2, 0) but not through the correct intercepts, and it does not have the required negative slope.
