Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Given the graph of a line passing through (2, 3) and (4, 7), find the equation of the line in the form y=mx+c.
[3 marks]
2.
Plot the graph of y=3x+2 on the grid. (Note: You will need to draw the line based on the equation provided).
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a line passing through the point (1, 2) with a gradient of -0.5. Write its equation.
[3 marks]
4.
A student claims that the line passing through (0, 4) and (2, 0) has an equation y=-2x+4. Is this correct? Identify and explain any mistake.
[4 marks]
5.
From the graph, the line crosses the y-axis at y=5 and passes through (3, 2). What is the equation of this line?
[3 marks]
6.
A line is drawn with an incorrect slope of 0.5 when the actual slope is -0.5. Describe how this mistake affects the derived equation and the graph.
[3 marks]
7.
Given the points (1, 4) and (3, 8), find the equation and identify the mistake if a student gives y=2x+2.
[4 marks]
8.
Identify and correct the error in this derivation: The line passing through (0, 1) and (2, 5) is given as y=2x+1.
[4 marks]
9.
A line with an equation y= -3x + c passes through (2, 4). Find the value of c and write the complete equation.
[3 marks]
10.
Explain why a line passing through (1, 2) and (3, 6) cannot have the equation y=0.5x+1.
[4 marks]
