How is game rating determined ?

I have been playing for over a year now and recently I have noticed some variance in game point rating .... some of my wins like my last game have only being awarded as little as 5 points ?! Does anyone know why such a low point score on this particular game .

Your rapid rating is close to stable.
Your opponent was a bit weaker.
He also had a question mark, which may marginally reduce the rating change as well
