Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
What is the gradient of a horizontal line on a graph?
[2 marks]2.
A map shows a straight road running east-west. The elevation remains constant along the road. What is the gradient of this road?
[2 marks]3.
Plot a horizontal line on the grid where y=5. What is the gradient of this line?
[2 marks]4.
Calculate the gradient of a road that runs east-west and has no change in elevation.
[2 marks]5.
If a line on a map has a gradient of zero, what does this say about the slope of the road?
[3 marks]6.
A hiker walks along a flat, level trail. The trail's gradient is zero. If she walks 5 km east, what is her change in elevation?
[3 marks]7.
On a map, a river runs perfectly east-west and remains at the same elevation along its length. What is the gradient of the river?
[2 marks]8.
Construct a line on the grid that has a gradient of zero. Describe its position.
[3 marks]9.
A map shows a highway running east-west at a constant elevation. The elevation does not change along the entire stretch. What is the gradient of this highway?
[2 marks]10.
Identify the common mistake students might make when calculating the gradient of a horizontal line. How would you correct this mistake?
[3 marks]11.
A cyclist rides along a flat, straight path for 10 km east, with no change in elevation. Plot this route on the grid and state the gradient.
[4 marks]12.
Challenge: A train travels along a level track for 50 km. The elevation remains unchanged. What is the gradient of the track? Explain your reasoning.
