Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
If y is directly proportional to x with a constant of proportionality 3, find y when x = 5.
[2 marks]
2.
Plot the graph of y = 4x for x values from 0 to 10. Use the grid to draw the line.
[3 marks]
3.
Given y = 6x, what is the value of y when x = 7? Show your working.
[2 marks]
4.
A car travels at a speed proportional to the fuel used. If 8 liters of fuel allow it to travel 120 km, how far can it travel on 12 liters? Show your reasoning.
[4 marks]
5.
Complete the table for y = 2x: | x | y | |---|---| | 0 | ? | | 3 | ? | | 5 | ? | | 10 | ? |
[4 marks]
6.
Explain why the graph of y = 5x is a straight line passing through the origin.
[3 marks]
7.
If a bicycle’s speed is proportional to the effort applied, and applying effort 4 units results in a speed of 20 km/h, what effort is needed for a speed of 30 km/h?
[2 marks]
8.
Plot the line y = 3x on the grid for x values 0 to 8. Ensure the line is straight and passes through the origin.
[3 marks]
9.
A recipe uses ingredients in a ratio proportional to the number of servings. If 2 cups of sugar are used for 4 servings, how much sugar is needed for 10 servings?
[2 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake in the statement: "Since y ∝ x, the graph of y = 2x is a parabola."
[3 marks]
11.
Challenge: The constant of proportionality varies with x. Is y still directly proportional to x? Explain.
[3 marks]
