Comparing Key Features of Linear and Nonlinear Functions: Sample Algebra 1 EOC Questions

Two functions arrive in two different forms, one linear and one not, and students have to compare them on intercepts, rate of change, domain, range, or end behavior. Translating between an equation, a graph, a table, and a description is the real work.

How the Algebra 1 EOC tests this benchmark

Every item on this benchmark requires comparing a linear function to a nonlinear one, so a student who only knows how to read a line will stall. A favorite EOC question asks which function eventually exceeds the other, pitting a line against an exponential or a quadratic. Multiselect and matching items show up alongside multiple choice.

Skills students need

Compare intercepts across two representations
Compare a constant rate to a changing one
Decide which function eventually exceeds the other
Compare domain, range, and end behavior
