Linear or Nonlinear Practice Test

In this set of 10 practice questions, you are asked to identify the nonlinear item in which all others in the group are linear. These are shown in several different formats to help you to see the information in a variety of ways. You may wish to review this Khan Academy video explaining how to identify linear equations before attempting to try this practice math test.

This practice test is designed in adaptive mode in which you will see the correct answer after each question. I've also included a hint on the answer slides.

Directions

  1. Click on the first graphic to enlarge to full screen.
  2. Make your selection and record on a piece of paper.
  3. Click on the slide or on next thumbnail at the bottom of the screen to advance to the next screen.
  4. Repeat the above if you need to review.

Thanks a bunch for visiting my Student Survive 2 Thrive blog. Feel free to type your next desired subject in my search bar or search by topic, enter your topic (like math) in my search bar, or visit my site map to find all of my resources. Here are a few to get you started:
