Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the missing angle on a straight line if one adjacent angle is 65°.
[2 marks]2.
A straight line forms two angles: 120° and x°. Find x.
[2 marks]3.
If an angle on a straight line is 85°, what is the other angle?
[2 marks]4.
Construct a straight line with an angle of 40°. Calculate the other angle on the same line.
[3 marks]5.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student says that if one angle on a straight line is 70°, the other should be 70° as well.
[3 marks]6.
A straight line has an angle of 150° adjacent to an unknown angle x°. Find x.
[2 marks]7.
A diagram shows a straight line with angles 50° and x° on either side of a point. If the angles are supplementary, find x.
[3 marks]8.
In a straight line, two angles are 110° and y°. A student claims y = 110°. Explain whether this is correct and justify your answer.
[3 marks]9.
Plot the graph of y = 2x on the provided grid. Describe the slope of the line.
[3 marks]10.
A student makes the error of subtracting angles instead of adding when calculating a missing angle on a straight line. Identify and correct this error with an example.
[4 marks]11.
A diagram shows two angles 60° and 90° adjacent on a straight line, with an unknown angle x. Find x and explain the common misconception involved.
