Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
If y is inversely proportional to x, and when x = 4, y = 6, find the value of y when x = 3.
[2 marks]2.
Given y = k / x, and y = 12 when x = 3, find the constant k.
[2 marks]3.
Use the value of k from the previous question. What is y when x = 6?
[2 marks]4.
Plot the graph of y = 24 / x for x values from 1 to 6.
[2 marks]5.
Construct a triangle with sides proportional to 3, 4, and 5, reflecting inverse proportion concepts.
[3 marks]6.
If y = 10 / x, find the value of y when x = 2. Then, find y when x = 5.
[2 marks]7.
A machine takes 4 hours to complete a task when working at a certain speed. If the speed is doubled, how long will the task take? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]8.
An inverse proportion problem: When x = 5, y = 8. Find y when x = 20.
[2 marks]9.
Identify the error in this statement: 'Since y is inversely proportional to x, if x doubles, y also doubles.'
[3 marks]10.
Given y = 15 / x, what is the value of y when x = 3? Now, if y is known to be 5, what is the value of x?
[2 marks]11.
Challenge: The constant of inverse proportionality is 20. Write the equation for y in terms of x, and determine y when x = 10.
