Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
If y is directly proportional to x and y = 10 when x = 5, find the constant of proportionality k.
[2 marks]2.
Plot the graph of y = 3x for x values from 0 to 5.
[3 marks]3.
Given the proportionality y ∝ x, if y = 20 when x = 4, what is the value of y when x = 7?
[3 marks]4.
Construct a graph showing y = 5x and identify the point where y = 15.
[3 marks]5.
A car rental company charges $50 plus $0.20 per mile. Is the cost directly proportional to the miles driven? Explain your reasoning.
[4 marks]6.
The length of a rectangle is directly proportional to its width. If the length is 12 cm when the width is 4 cm, find the length when the width is 7 cm.
[3 marks]7.
Plot the line y = 4x on the grid. What is the value of y when x = 6?
[2 marks]8.
A worker's wages are directly proportional to the number of hours worked. If the wages are $120 for 8 hours, what are the wages for 12 hours?
[3 marks]9.
Identify the mistake: A student plots the graph y = 2x + 5 to represent a proportional relationship. Explain and correct the error.
[4 marks]10.
In a recipe, the amount of sugar is directly proportional to the number of servings. If 100g of sugar is needed for 4 servings, how much is needed for 10 servings?
[3 marks]11.
Challenge: The graph of y = kx passes through points (2, 10) and (5, 25). Find the value of k and write the equation of the line.
[4 marks]12.
