Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Plot the graph of y=3x for x = 0 to 4. Use the grid to draw the correct straight line.
[3 marks]
2.
A student plots a graph intended to show y=2x, but the line is too steep. Identify the likely mistake made.
[2 marks]
3.
Draw a straight line connecting the points (1,2) and (4,8). Then, explain why the line is not representative of any constant speed scenario.
[4 marks]
4.
Construct a graph showing three different speeds: 1 unit/sec, 2 units/sec, and 3 units/sec, over the same time period (0-3 seconds). Use the grid to draw all three lines with distinct slopes.
[4 marks]
5.
Identify the error in the following drawn graph: the line is supposed to represent y=4x, but it flattens between (1,4) and (2,8).
[2 marks]
6.
A graph intended to show y=0.5x has a steeper slope than plotted. What common mistake might cause this?
[2 marks]
7.
Plot the points (0,0), (1,1), (2,2), and (3,3). Connect them with a straight line. Describe what this line represents in terms of speed.
[3 marks]
8.
A student draws a line that shows y=2x but the line is not straight. What common drawing mistake could cause this?
[2 marks]
9.
Plot the line y=1.5x for x = 0 to 3. Use the grid to draw the line accurately. Then, explain why accuracy in scaling is vital for correct slope representation.
[4 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the misconception in this scenario: a graph shows increasing distance over time but the line is curved downward, suggesting decreasing speed.
[2 marks]
